- Of the various theories purporting to explain the Abyssinian's origin the sensible-shoes description was advanced by Rosemonde S. Peltz in the 1972 Cat Fanciers' Association Yearbook, wherein she insisted "there is no doubt that the Abyssinian breed was made in England" by persons who "began with British Shorthairs, in most cases of unknown parentage, and gradually broke up tabby striping and eliminated white spotting and bars until they produced a cat with a uniformed ticked coat. " Thus, concluded Peltz, "the Abyssinian is more at home on the Thames than on the Nile. ...
