Abyssinian Cat
Other names: Bunny cat
Some people say these cats are the spitting image of the Felis Iybica, the ancient African ancestor of the modern domestic cat. Others say their face, large ears, almond-shaped eyes and the colour of their coat must have been the inspiration behind many paintings and other artwork from Ancient Egypt. Their genetics, however, indicate that they also had South-East Asian ancestors. Regardless, the Abyssinian is a breed as magnificent as it is ancient, whose characteristic colour and regal appearance are the perfect match for their endearing personality and abundant energy.
