Abyssinian Cats

Temperament and Disposition

As for temperament, the Abyssinians are very intelligent, playful and most affectionate and loving companions. It can be quite obedient, a rare thing among cats, and likes to be a member of your family. They can be taught very easily to do tricks and listen to their names. Mostly she learns things by herself like opening doors. She is indoors when I'm at work and when I come home I let her out. She comes back if I call her by name. If she wants to play she fetches one of her toys and put it on my foot and runs away. She loves playing hide-and-seek and outsmart me every time.

Due to their exquisite beauty and super-loving dispositions, even dyed-in-the-wool cat-haters are captivated by Abyssinians. Most people don't even know what they are the first time they see one, but once they take a second look, they are hooked for life! Abys have a way of wrapping themselves around our hearts and brightening our lives with their beauty and loving companionship. They are so intelligent they can readily sense when we are feeling blue, and they rub and purr and cuddle to let you know that things aren't so bad as long as they are around! It's uncanny how they can sense a mood change and respond so readily to it.
