It is wrong to think of this breed as only ornamental. They are very active and peculiar, so they are ideal for life in the house. These cats will brighten up the loneliness of any person, and most importantly – will show interest in them.
If you delve into their origins, you can get confused. They are among the oldest species of domestic cats. But their name suggests the most likely theory of their origin. Experts are inclined to believe that they first appeared in Abyssinia (now Epopia). It is noticeable, because their appearance and character hides something mysterious, andhistorical.
This cat is in the top five for a reason. They live an average of 12-16 years. At the same time, females are valued more in this breed. The reason for this phenomenon is that their birth rate is lower. The blue abyssinian cat or the same breed with a different color, changes its color throughout its life. For example, in infancy, they are dark. During development, they change their appearance and become lighter. So if you are looking at them at a very young age, remember this characteristic.
