Ceylon Cat

Character:   Care:

The Ceylon Cat is a domestic breed, developed by the Cat Club of Sri Lanka (former Ceylon). In 1980s its representatives were brought to Italy, where in 1984 at the Como Cat Show, they were introduced to the western public and were an immediate success. After 4 years of planned breeding, in May 1988, the Ceylon Cat was registered as a pedigree cat. Ceylon cat has the typical ticked coat of the modern Abyssinian, but with the addition of the barred leg-markings common in that breed at the turn of the century. It is very similar to the so-called Wild Abyssinian developed in the 1980s from the local cats discovered in Singapore.
