The Ultimate Guide to Abyssinian Cat Coat Colours: A Journey Through a Rainbow of Hues

Abyssinian cat colours refer to the distinctive coat patterns and colourations found in the Abyssinian cat breed. These cats are known for their ticked coats, which give them a unique and striking appearance. The ticking is caused by each individual hair having multiple bands of colour, alternating between light and dark shades.

The most common Abyssinian cat colour is ruddy, which is a warm, reddish-brown shade. However, there are also several other recognised colours, including chocolate, blue, lilac, and fawn. Abyssinian cats with ticked coats in any of these colours are considered to be within the breed standard.
