Although the Abyssinian cat can be quite demure it also resembles something like a small wild cat and still retains a resemblance to its jungle cat ancestor, Felis Lybica, the African wild cat of all domestic cats. It is widely believed that the first

Abyssinian cats were taken to Britain by soldiers returning from the 1868 Ethiopian war (ancient Abyssinia). The Abyssinian cat breed was developed in Britain with the first Abyssinian registered in the stud book of the National Cat Club in 1896.
