BREED STANDARD
What does an Abyssinian Cat look like?  It has to be said that the cats vary across the world, but as the Abyssinian Cat Club is affiliated to the Governing Council of the Cat Fancy (GCCF) it is this Standard we outline here.

ABYSSINIAN COLOURS
There are 28 different colours currently recognised  by the GCCF.  Most of these have been developed within the last 30 years, are seen very rarely and do not yet have Championship status.  This section gives the official description (from the Standard of Points) and there are also photos of the colours most often seen.

ABY GRANDS and CELEBRITY ABYS
The first Abyssinians to be awarded the titles of Grand Champion and Grand Premier, and other notable cats.
