A HISTORY OF CHOCOLATE & LILAC ABYSSINIANS

1 of 11

All Chocolate & Lilac Abyssinians in the United Kingdom are descended from three cats. Two Brown Tortoiseshell Burmese and one Chocolate Siamese.

There are two lines of Chocolate (& the diluted form of Chocolate which is known as Lilac) Abyssinians in the United Kingdom.*

One is through Doreen Healey’s Pinegrove cats, the other through Rebecca Eagland’s Abychat cattery.

The terms F1, F2 etc refer to how many generations a cat is away from the original outcross.
