Australian smoky: description of the breed

The Australian Smoky, or Australian Mist, is a breed of cat that is extremely rare even in its country of origin, Australia. Breeding work has been carried out since 1975 in Sydney for about a decade under the leadership of Truda Street.

During the breeding, the genes of several already known cat breeds were used. Australian cats have borrowed a cheerful and inquisitive character from Abyssinian cats. From the Burmese — immeasurable devotion to the owners. The Siamese cat gave the Australian beautiful ultramarine eyes.

Interestingly, ordinary mongrel cats took part in breeding the breed, giving their descendants good health. The breed was named Australian smoky. But in the further process of crossing her with a domestic tabby, the Australian's body began to be decorated with characteristic stripes. Therefore, we decided to rename it to the Australian Mist.

In 1986, the Australian Smoky cat breed was officially recognized in all Australian animal lover communities, and some time later, after official registration with the WCF, all over the world. Although it is almost impossible to purchase this unique breed in the CIS countries, it is more possible in Australia and America.

Appearance and character

The uniqueness of the breed lies in the successful combination of many positive qualities. The Australian smoky, weighing up to 7 kilograms, has a muscular, medium-sized body with a wide chest, short neck and long tail. The paws are of medium length, rounded. The ears are large, with rounded tips, slightly tilted forward.

The slanted eyes of a cat have a wide range of shades of green. The coat of the Australian mist is short and shiny. The color is found in chocolate, blue, golden, brown, peach, caramel colors with a spotted pattern or marble streaks. The short coat of the cat does not require special care.

The character of the Australian is very accommodating. Being very devoted to the owner, she is quite calm about loneliness and can do without walking on the street. Although he will always be able to entertain himself. He is great friends with other pets, loves to play with children. He always shows sympathy for the guests of the hosts.

Care

The advantage of the breed is that the wool almost does not shed. Cats are very clean and take care of themselves by licking their fur. Of course, periodic combing of wool with special brushes will not be superfluous.

Health and nutrition
