CLEAR ALLAbyssinians are medium-sized cats with long bodies and well-developed muscles. They are active cats that love jumping and playing, and are one of the top five most popular cat breeds globally.
Abyssinians are cheeky and curious yet graceful and intelligent. Because of their playful nature, Abyssinians act like kittens throughout their lives. They are loving and friendly and will follow you around when you do your household chores like curious little feline assistants. However, once they finally tire out, they will snuggle with you on the sofa.
Abyssinian cats are modest-looking in all features, with an M-shaped marking on their forehead. Their fur has a distinct "ticked" effect, one of the most defining features of this breed. They have a triangular-shaped head with slightly large ears that are slanted forward like a wildcat. This gives them an alert, attentive look. Their gorgeous large almond-shaped eyes also showcase their attentiveness and intelligence and give them a rugged but gentle appearance.
This is one of the easiest cat breeds to groom and care for. They also tend to be excellent with children, dogs, and other cats. Therefore, Abys make an exciting but low maintenance addition to the family.

This is one of the easiest cat breeds to groom and care for. They also tend to be excellent with children, dogs, and other cats. Therefore, Abys make an exciting but low maintenance addition to the family.
Abyssinians have unique “ticked” tabby coats where individual hairs contain different colours. This gives a beautiful sheen look to their fur, which looks stunning under sunlight. As they grow into adults, Aby’s become lean and muscular with long legs and tails. They also have relatively small paws, making them look like they are standing on tiptoes because of their long legs. Moreover, their athletic figure gives them the appearance of a wild cat.
Their faces are cute yet distinctive, and they have wedge-shaped heads. They possess slightly too large ears, large almond-shaped eyes, and an M-shaped marking, all of which add to their adorability. They have an ‘always alert’ look, making it difficult to tell how relaxed they are. This is due to the forward-facing ears and the shape of their eyes.
You’ll find Abyssinians in various colours; however, the most common is a warm, reddish-brown base with black ticking. There are also silver Abyssinians, but these are a separate group. As for their eyes, most have either gold or green eyes, but sometimes it can be a mixture of both colours.
Classed as a medium-sized cat breed, your Aby will likely weigh between 8 to 12 pounds (3.5 - 5.5 kg) once fully grown. Their average lifespan is between 10 to 15 years.
Despite looking like a wild cat, Abyssinians are one of the most loving cat breeds who adore spending time with humans. In fact, they possess an almost dog-like desire to follow their owner around the house.
Aside from being loyal and loving companions, Abys are extremely intelligent, super playful, and curious explorers. They seem to retain their high kitten-like energy as they age and love regular play sessions. Therefore, an Abyssinian is not a lap cat.
Because of their desire to explore, don’t be surprised to find your Aby sitting atop the fridge or a door. In fact, these cats will make it their mission to reach the highest places in the house!
Abys are a social cat breed and display great confidence when meeting new people. They are not one to hide under the sofa and instead will lap up the chance for some extra attention.
Another reason why Abyssinians are similar to dogs is their ability to learn tricks and be trained. However, because they are so bright, if you don’t take the opportunity to train them and teach them the rules when they are young, they will quickly be running rings around you!
Because Abyssinians are social with adults and children alike, they do well in family homes. They are also a good choice if you have other cats or pets. They typically do not take too long to become comfortable around other animals.
One thing to note about Abyssinians is that as they love to be around people, they would be most happy in a home where someone is home most of the day. So, if you’re a housewife or you work from home, an Aby could make your perfect feline companion.
Abyssinians enjoy being outdoors and exploring their surroundings. Therefore, if they have access to the outside world, they will be most happy. However, if you are not keen to let them free roam, they are easily trainable to walk on a leash.
It is also totally okay to keep an Aby as an indoor-only cat. However, you will need to ensure their environment has enough stimulation to keep this high-energy breed entertained. Cat trees, climbing spots, and lots of puzzle toys to challenge their intelligent mind will help to keep them happy and fulfilled indoors.

Neo
Russian Blue
We had some concerns purchasing a kitten online but our experience with The Pedigree Paws was great. They connected us with Caroline, the Russian Blue breeder and we had many conversations and received multiple pictures and videos. She answered to all our questions.
The Pedigree Paws verified for us all the vaccinations and health checks to make sure our new kitten was 100% healthy.
Thank you for all your help The Pedigree Paws! Highly recommended!
Jack
Miniature Dachshund
One of the reasons I was hesitant to order a puppy from The Pedigree Paws is because I live in Spain. However they connected me with a very good FCI breeder in Barcelona.
He showed me all the health documents of both parents, their pedigree and answer to all my questions. I am so happy they helped me to find a healthy puppy as finding one by myself was very overwhelming. Contacting The Pedigree Paws was the best decision and I highly recommend them to everybody!

From the kittens's selection to the arrival of our Chartreux kitten, The Pedigree Paws was there to assist us.

Athena
Chihuahua
It's been a few months since we decided to find a Chihuahua puppy to join our family, however we had issues finding a good breeder.
We contacted The Pedigree Paws and they connected us with a very unique breeder in Greece. Many videos and pictures were shown, the breeder shared with us the proof of vaccinations, deworming and her 5 generation pedigree. We were fortunate as George, the breeder was able to deliver the puppy to us personally. We are very pleased with our beautiful Athena. Thank you, The Pedigree Paws, for being truthful and transparent.
