Although the Abyssinian cat can be traced back to the Nile Valley, it was actually developed in Great Britain. In the 1860s, Lord Robert Napier brought a cat named Zulu to Britain after a military expedition to Abyssinia. Zulu became the foundation of the Abyssinian breed we know today, thanks to her unique ticking pattern on her coat resembling that of a wild rabbit’s camouflage. Zulu was bred with random-bred cats that shared this distinctive coat pattern, leading to the creation of the Abyssinian breed. This breed quickly gained popularity and spread throughout Europe, as well as in the United States and Canada. The breed faced near decimation during both world wars in Europe but was saved by importing new Abyssinians. In the late 1960s, when the feline leukemia virus threatened the breed in Britain, more Abyssinians were brought in to revive and preserve it once again.
