1. Catzinc - Profile : Abyssinian
- catzinc.org.nz
- Abyssinian.
- How does one adequately describe an Abyssinian? "Alert, highly intelligent, athletic,playful, and people orientated" are just a few of the words that immediately spring to mind.
- Known as the "Child of the Gods" the Abyssinian is considered by many to be the descendant of the sacred cats worshipped in the temples of Egypt. ... and this cat bears a striking resemblance to the modern day Abyssinian, both in musculature and colour, but especially in its "ticked" coat pattern with rufus base. ...
- The name "Abyssinian" does not refer to any known fact confirming the origin of this breed as being from Abyssinia (now Ethiopia), but because the first cat so-called "Abyssinian" was exhibited in England and was reported to have been imported from that region. ...
- The Abyssinian has also been known variously as the Russian Cat,(from cats which migrated from the North of India), the British Ticked cat, (after the superficial resemblance to the ticked coat of rabbits), and the Spanish Cat, (probably because it had migrated on the trading ships that plied between Spain and Ceylon). ...
- Genetic research demonstrates that the most credible origin of the Abyssinian is the coast of the Indian Ocean, where it seems probable that purchases from suppliers of small wild animal exhibits could have been made by colonists.
- One particularly well-known early Abyssinian was "Aluminium" born in 1905, owned by Mrs Carew-Cox. ...
- Under the stewardship of British breeders, the survival of the Abyssinian cat as a recognised breed was not only secured, but a healthy demand from overseas saw examples exported to all corners of the globe, where it took a particularly strong hold in the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. ...
- The esteem in which the New Zealand public holds the Abyssinian, has continued to grow steadily over the last 45 years, due largely to the very loyal following by New Zealand breeders. The Abyssinian remains a very popular pet and show cat. ...

- THE ABYSSINIAN CAT.
- THE ABYSSINIAN CAT CLUB.
- In my opinion, and in that of certain eminent Continental Zoologists, the Abyssinian Cat may be regarded as the nearest approach to the Sacred Cat of Ancient Egypt now existing. ...
- (Fettered, Egyptian and Caffre Cat, it has been called in English; in Latin it has borne yet more synonyms), and whilst the large majority have been the common grey lightly striped form, there have been others which in gradation lead up to the Abyssinian as we know it.
- It appears to show some of the characteristics we demand in the Abyssinian: small size: "Its size is that of a middle-sized domestic cat, and smaller than the European Wild Cat by one third: all the proportions of its limbs are on a smaller scale"; colour: "Ochreous, darker on the back" (c. ...
- It reminds one at once of a certain Abyssinian Champion, whose colour is admirable but who fails in "ticking". ...
- In the accompanying illustrations I show the gradations in the African Wild Cat of to-day from the faintly spotted form to the faintly mottled, well-ticked, modern Abyssinian type; and in the papyrus painting, over 2. 000 years old, of an Ancient Egyptian Cat, we find the brown body with barred legs and tail of the third rate Abyssinian of to-day, the belly being of an ochreous yellow, such as we look for in a brown Abyssinian.
- Barrett Lennard, and as having been brought from Abyssinia at the conclusion of the Abyssinian War. The portrait, however, is not instructive, as it resembles no Abyssinian Cat that I have ever seen, but I judge this to be due to poor colour printing. ...
- When The Cat Club was doing its best to ruin The National Cat Club, nearly thirty years ago, it dropped the title of Abyssinian from its Register, and inserted instead "Ticks". At that time what we must call "British Ticks", often also known as "Bunny Cats", were far more common in various parts of the country than they are now; these cats were usually as well ticked as any Abyssinian, though some had a "mottled" appearance. ... At that time the Abyssinian seemed to stand in danger of becoming extinct; of the few that existed many were shy breeders, kittens were difficult to rear, and these British Ticks made a useful outcross. ...
- breeders; no, in the face of rotten judging, lack of recognition, poor prizes, lack of market, and a heartbreaking mortality in kittens, this plucky lady has carried the Abyssinian flag triumphantly through. ...
- The general appearance of the Abyssinian is that of a rather small and very elegantly built cat, with graceful slender limbs, elegant head, with rather large ears and lustrous eyes. ... Of course, to those who can see no beauty in a cat which has not a head like a Pekinese the Abyssinian will not appeal, and I have read descriptions by such people referring to the Abyssinian as "gaunt" and "half -starved looking". As a matter of fact, any person capable of appreciating truly graceful lines and sinuous and elegant shape in the Cat, will admit that in this respect the Abyssinian has but one rival, to wit, the Siamese. The most usual colour of the Abyssinian very strikingly resembles that of a wild rabbit, in fact I have known many whose fur could not be distinguished from that of the rabbit, when placed side by side, until carefully examined, when it is seen that the fur of the rabbit is grey near the skin (under colour), whilst that of the cat is, or should be, rufous. The "ticking" is a most essential property in the Abyssinian, and is caused by blackish, or dark brown, tips to the hair. ...
