Abyssinian Cat
An elegant looking cat with a muscular body and arched neck. A good Abyssinian will have large ears and almond shaped eyes. They still resemble their wild ancestors, despite years of selective breeding. The name actually points to the country the cats were first imported from, and not actually their country of origin.
The breed now has several color varieties available. Most cats stay relatively clean and rarely need a bath, but they do need to be brushed or combed to stimulate blood circulation and promote good health. A grooming glove or mitten can make this process as simply as daily petting.
