Should you get an Abyssinian cat?

If you want a fun energetic cat who is very entertaining then yes.

If you want a cat who will sit on your lap for hours then no.

Abyssinian typically don’t like to be held and cuddled, but he may want to ride on your shoulder.

He may want to sit beside you and play games.

Archeologist have found Mummified cats similar to Abyssinian alive today.

Fact 3

Abyssinia was a country. It was defeated by Great Britain in 1868. It’s now named Ethiopia.
During that war a British soldier came home with a Kitten named Zula.
She was the grand dame of the Abyssinia breed
Catopedia has a great article on this story
Saying that Little Zula’s
first public appearance was at Second National Cat Show held at The Crystal Palace, on 16th December, 1871.

this may be the earliest written record of a cat imported from Abyssinia, that there were others which followed is evidenced by a commentary by Harrison Weir in his classic work Our Cats published 18 years later, in 1889.
"Still, several have been imported from Abyssinia all of which were precisely similar, and it is stated that this is the origin of the Egyptian cat that was worshipped so many centuries ago."4
"It is mostly of a deep brown, ticked with black, somewhat resembling the back of a wild (only not so gray) rabbit. Along the centre of the back, from the nape of the neck to the tip of the tail, there is a band of black, very slightly interspersed with dark brown hairs. The inner sides of the legs and belly are more of a rufous-orange tint than the body, and are marked in some cases with a few dark patches; but they are best without these marks, and in the exhibition pens it is a point lost. The eyes are deep yellow, tinted with green; nose dark red, black-edged; ears rather small, dark brown, with black edges and tips; the pads of the feet are black. Altogether, it is a pretty and interesting variety."4
There is much more detail on this website and I definitely recommend it.

They are among the top 5 breeds in the Cat Fanciers Association.
