The Abyssinian is a fine-boned, slender cat with a ticked coat, which means each individual hair is banded through with different colors. The Abys is named for the region in which it originated, Abyssinia. The Abys is one of the top five most popular breeds in the world, and its distinctive appearance makes it a bit of a cat supermodel.
