Before adopting an Abyssinian, make sure to choose a breeder who performs recommended genetic tests, particularly for pyruvate kinase deficiency (PK-Def) and renal amyloidosis. A responsible breeder will introduce you to the parents and provide a veterinary certificate and complete vaccination records. The Cat Fanciers’ Association (CFA) recognizes the Abyssinian among its official breeds.
Abyssinian Characteristics and Temperament
The Abyssinian stands out with its ticked coat in warm shades ranging from ruddy gold to cinnamon, blue and fawn. Its body is sleek, muscular and athletic, with large alert ears and expressive almond-shaped gold or green eyes.
In terms of temperament, the Abyssinian is an extremely active, curious and intelligent cat. Often called the "clown of the cat world," it loves to climb, explore and participate in all household activities. This is not a couch cat — it needs daily mental and physical stimulation. A tall cat tree and interactive toys are essential. The Abyssinian adapts well to apartment living in Montreal or Laval, provided it has enough vertical space and play opportunities. It generally gets along well with children and other pets, making it a wonderful companion for Quebec families.
