The Fawn Cat

The Abyssinian cat is a well known breed of cat and comes in various colours and styles. The shorter coat length makes it a viable choice for carers wanting a cat that isn’t labour intensive in terms of care and maintenance. A simple grooming regime will ensure that the coat is kept in perfect condition while keeping the household free of shedding. Abyssinian cats posses wide eyes that will glimmer brightly in the darkness, this is true across all sub types of this cat. The pupils are normally wide and rounded.

The fawn is a comparatively newly recognised strain of cat that has emerged over the years as part of the Abyssinian family. It is regarded as one of the diluted colours in the large family of cats and refers to the lighter colour that it possesses. This coat carries a pale and consistent tone throughout and can be compared to honey oats. The slight bronzing is very telling on this occasion and is a direct result of crossing between the ruddy and sorrel cats of the Abyssinian lineage.

The Fawn Abyssinian came into existence through natural breeding and has been recognised after repeated success between the two mentioned cats. Interestingly, fawn cats are the least dominant types of cats and should be cared for accordingly. The fur of the fawn can be observed to as an increasingly lighter gradient as its body ends with a cream like tone. Similar to the Sorrel, it possesses light pink pas and nose. One could easily identify the difference between the Sorrel and Fawn side by side and if in doubt, the lack of darker markings will help to discern its lineage.

The body of this cat is slender but carries the same muscular stature that its relatives have. The fur is often densely packed towards the skin but maintains a crisp and firm consistency. Perhaps one of the most unique traits that the fawn carries is the slender legs in comparison to others who have a consistent bulk all round. The Fawn is an intelligent and curious cat that will enjoy stimulation and engagement from its owners. It’s a perfect choice for those who enjoy its slender and elegant appearance. It remains sturdy in stature despite this.
