Abi’s past life and present life
As an ancient species, there are various theories about the origin of Abyssinian cats, with four mainstream origins.

  1. Originating from Ethiopia. The main supporting evidence for this theory is based on geographical naming, namely that the name “Abyssinia” originated from the old name of Ethiopia. There are literature records suggesting that British colonizers in the 19th century may have brought back this cat from Ethiopia
  2. Originating from Southeast Asia (India). This theory is based on the similarity between Abyssinian cats and certain cats in Southeast Asia, which may have been spread through ancient trade routes.
  3. Originated from ancient Egypt. Some scholars have pointed out that Abyssinian cats have a high degree of similarity to cat images in ancient Egyptian tomb paintings and sculptures, supporting the possibility that they may be descendants of ancient Egyptian domestic cats. Ancient Egypt is known to have been a huge cat slave society, with a large number of mummies and artworks of cat like animals..
  1. Genetic consensus. In 2007, geneticists successfully deciphered the genes of Abyssinian cats and found that they did not come from Ethiopia. Their ancestors were more likely to have been in the Bay of Bengal or some areas of Southeast Asia.
