Abyssinian Colors
Aby cats are a special type of tabby cat. They are distinguished from all other tabbies by their beautiful ticked, resilient coats. All tabbies, in fact, have this ticked or agouti background in their coats, however, superimposed on this ticked background is a particular dark pattern such as mackerel, spotted, or blotched.
Abyssinian History
Some breeders prefer to believe that Aby cats are the most ancient of breeds and that they were both companions and gods of the Egyptians. The history of the Aby breed could begin wherever a ticked tabby walked, because similar cats existed in all countries.

The Abyssinian is often considered to be the cat that the Ancient Egyptians worshipped, as it looks similar to mummified cats that have been discovered. It certainly comes from the right area, as the earliest Abyssinian type cats were imported from Abyssinia (now Ethiopia).
