About the breed

Abyssinians are recognised in two divisions: traditional and silver. Traditional colours include ruddy, cinnamon, chocolate, and diluted blue, fawn and lilac. The silver division includes black-silver, cinnamon-silver, chocolate-silver, and their diluted variants. Their slim yet surprisingly heavy build reflects a powerful musculature beneath that elegant, ticked coat.
