The origin of the Abyssinian cat

The history of the Abyssinian cat is somewhat ambiguous, and to whom it is said that the wife of an English army officer, Captain Barrett-Leonard, returned the original breed to Britain from Abyssinia in 1868.

The name of the Abyssinian cat refers to Ethiopia, but most of the sayings refer to its origin in Egypt. Genetic research indicates that it originated near the coast of the Indian Ocean, and the colonists bought this cat from traffickers of wild animals and then transported it to Egypt to breed there.

Much of the news says that the Abyssinian cat originated several thousand years ago in ancient Egypt, due to the great similarity between the Abyssinian cat and the cats painted on the walls of ancient Egyptian temples and tombs, and the ancient Egyptians also prescribed some statues of these cats as well.
