History of the Abyssinian Cat Breed
2007-06-18 22:06:00 An exact history of the Abyssinian is still really an open debate. However there are a few theories about the Abyssinian history. One of the most popular theory is that the Abyssinian came from Egypt. It is well known the Egyptians thought highly of cats and they where a very important part of Egyptian life. Images that resemble Abyssinians have been found in Egyptian?s tombs. There is a report of a cat named ?Zulu? brought back to England from Egypt in 1868 that closely resembles the Abyssinian breed. Abyssinia (which is today modern day Ethiopia ) has many rivers and streams that connect to the Nile, which would further explain the breeds attachment to Egypt. It would be very easy for this breed to travel up and down the Nile. References to Abyssinian maidens who owned this breed, where supposedly highly desirable marriage partners. There is another theory that the breed originated in England. The theory is that the British started the breed by selective breeding. This would make ...

Breed Profile: Abyssinian
2007-05-08 16:15:00 Although the Abyssinian is one of the oldest known breeds, there continues to be speculation and controversy concerning its history. In appearance, Abyssinians resemble the paintings and sculptures of ancient Egyptian cats which portray an elegant feline with a muscular body, beautiful arched neck, large ears and almond shaped eyes. Abys today still retain the jungle look of felis lybica, the African wildcat ancestor of all domestic cats. The source of the name is not because Ethiopia, formerly Abyssinia, is thought to be the original home of these cats, but because the first "Abyssinians" exhibited in shows in England were reported to have been imported from that country. The first mention is in the Harper's Weekly (January 27, 1872 issue) where the 3rd prize in the December, 1871 Crystal Palace show was taken by the Abyssinian Cat ("captured in the late Abyssinian War"). This article is accompanied by an illustration of the Abyssinian Cat. In the British book, by Gordon Stables,...

HEAD: a modified, slightly rounded wedge without flat planes; the brow, cheek, and profile lines all showing a gentle contour.
