The Cat that was made in Australia! The Australian Mist

The delightful Australian Mist proudly wears the label 'Made in Australia".

This home-grown Aussie cat breed has evolved from a predominantly Burmese background, with Abyssinian and domestic shorthair input. From this combination has come the most confident and companionable of cats with the loving personality of the Burmese, the intelligence of the Abyssinian and the vigour of the Domestic tabby.

The breed's hallmark spotted jacket comes in a wide variety of attractive hues, from warm brown to blue, chocolate to lilac and gold to peach - with the misty background colours highlighting its delicate but distinctive spots.

A personality-plus puss with a penchant for fun, the Australian Mist thrives on human companionship. Tolerant of even the youngest of children (and not inclined to scratch), these friendly felines enjoy playing games and being part of the hustle and bustle of a busy household making entertaining companions for people of all ages.

Their enjoyment of family life also makes them happy to remain indoors at night, or even lead wholly indoor lives. Some Mists can also be trained to go for walks on leads.

Independent, intelligent and self-assured, these charming cats know exactly what they want out of life - and how to go about getting it!
