What is the Story of the Abyssinian Cat?

Abyssinians are considered one of the oldest all breeds of domestic cats.

The origin of the Abyssinian cat, the breed is a topic that is likely to cause a lot of “catfights” among any feline organizations simply because there are so many theories and none of them have been proven.

Nevertheless, the majority is inclined to believe that the breed of the Abyssinian cat originated from the ancient lands of Abyssinia, which is now a modern Epic, hence the name Abyssinia.

But there are several reports and studies that show that the first members of the breed may have lived along the coast of the Indian Ocean and several areas of Southeast Asia. And even there are others who say that the Abyssinians were divorced first in the United States back in 1935.

Today, the Abyssinian cat is one of the most popular purebred cats - she was in the top five registered by the Association of Cat Lovers.

What is the Personality of Abyssinian?

Abyssinian cat personality:

The Abyssinian cat is a popular breed, in large part due to its unusual intelligence and playful qualities. She is interested in everything that happens around her.

If you crave a gentle "articulated cat", this cat breed is probably not suitable for your home.

Abyssinians are very smart, love to play, and interact with people. They will enjoy watching you read a book, watch TV or cook something in the kitchen. They will also look at the birds through the window with enthusiasm, so think about the opportunity.

This breed is easy to train, so you can teach it to walk on a leash, as they do with the Maine Coon breed.

The cat is perfect for the home with children, as well as with other animals, including dogs.

With their interest in playing with their owners, combined with curious intelligence, Abyssinians are often called clowns of the kingdom of cats.

An Abyssinian cat is not just a decorative domestic breed, it is a smart, witty, funny, and funny cat that may require attention and respect.

what are the common diseases in Abyssinian cats?

The average life span of an Abyssinian cat is between 12 and 16 years when properly cared for.

In this case, the breed is known to suffer from the following diseases:

•   gingivitis - inflammation of the gums in a cat;
•   renal amyloidosis (a kidney disorder caused by a mutation in the gene for amyloid protein AA);
•   progressive retinal atrophy (PRA) - this condition has been seen in the breed in the past, but, fortunately, today, thanks to responsible reproduction, the condition is not so common among Abyssinians these days. In this disease, the cat's eyes look quite normal, but for indirect signs, such as avoiding dark spaces and stairs, you need to pay attention to;
• pyruvate kinase deficiency (PK) is a hereditary disorder that causes anemia;
• sensitive skin (cat hyperesthesia).

How to take care of the Abyssinian cat?

An Abyssinian cat does not require much care, therefore, to maintain the coat in excellent condition, it needs to be combed once a week to remove lost hair.

Like other breeds, they usually molt most in the spring, and then again in the fall, when brushing and, sometimes, bathing is most often required.

Be sure to monitor the condition of the claws, for this, get a claw point or, if necessary, cut the claws every 10-14 days.

Inoculate your cat and carry out deworming (cleaning the body of worms).

Abyssinians may develop periodontal disease, so brush your teeth at home with your veterinary home toothpaste and plan regular veterinary brushings.
