Did You Spot An Abyssinian Cat In Our Streets?
Like the SingapuraCat and the Bombay Cat, many of these amazing Cat breeds have all been passed
by or not even given a second look. Little did we know, these some of our local
community Cats are actually well recognised Cat breeds in the world, and the
Abyssinian Cat breed is another example of stray that has a rich history and
wonderful personality we may not have realised.
The Abyssinian Cat
Though the origins of
the first Abyssinian Cats are still shrouded in mystery, the name of this breed
is derived from the first Abyssinian to ever be exhibited at the Crystal Palace
Cat Show in England, 1871. The name of this Cat is Zula, and is thought to have
been imported from Abyssinia (now known as Ethiopia), North Africa. Zula was
also reported to be the first Abyssinian Cat captured during the late
Abyssinian War and took 3rd place in the Crystal Palace Show.
Reports of the show was published in 1872, ad rumours of the Abyssinian Cat
being Cats of Pharaohs were spread.

What Does An Abyssinian Cat Look Like?
With similar
trademark coats like our local pride the Singapura Cat, Abyssinians have
tickled hairs and a slender, slim and fine-boned frame. The only difference
here is that an Abyssinian Cat is medium sized. They have large and alert
pointed ears with almond shaped eyes that are either Gold, Copper, Green or
even Hazel, depending on their coat colours. Not forgetting their tapering long
tails.

Fun Fact All Abyssinian
Cats are born with dark colours, these coats lighten as the kitten matures,
usually in a few months!
Grooming Requirements Of An Abyssinian Cat
The short, silky coat
of an Abyssinian Cat does not require massive maintenance, but they do still
require the usual combing to help them rid loose hairs and baths to keep their
coats shiny and clean. Trim their nails once they’re long, which would be every
2 weeks or so.

Personality Of An Abyssinian
Also known
as the clowns of the Cat Kingdom, Abyssinians are extremely inquisitive and
active, and they love their owners. They often get so attached to their owners
and won’t stand being neglected or have no activity to entertain themselves. So
if you are looking for a calm and still kitty for your home, an Abyssinian may
not be the best choice.

Owning An Abyssinian Cat In Singapore
Before
obtaining a Pet, be sure to research and prepare for the commitments and
responsibilities you have to face when you are looking after the Pet. A lot of
times, animals are often left neglected and poorly looked after, leading to
abandonment cases when they fall ill or Pets running away. Especially with
Cats, it is crucial to understand your feline’s needs while keeping them safe
indoors.

Adopt, Don’t Shop
Specific
breeds are great, but we could say the same for all other crossbreeds and
rescued strays. Before you head off to purchase a Pet, always keep an eye out
for adoption drives or check out local shelters and groups for more options.
You could always count on finding your next sweet kitty and providing a forever
home for a rescued furry pal ☺
