28 Awwdorable Abyssinian Cats That Are Purrfectly Playful And Charmingly Cute

Have you ever wanted to own your very own sphynx? No, we're not talking about the hilariously cute hairless cats, we're talking about Abyssinian cats, the deep red-colored cats that look remarkably like the Egyptian sphynx itself! These adorable cats are known for being incredibly intelligent and athletic. They form strong bonds with their owners and love being around people and other pets. If you want a lap cat though, these cats are not for you. These cats are climbers and need a lot of mental stimulation.

If you're looking for a cat to learn to imitate you, talk to you, and play a lot, you're in the right place! These cats can even learn to answer the phone, and if that isn't the cutest thing we've ever heard, we're not sure what is. We can't get enough of their regal, majestic feline presence, and they may order us around like their servants, but we'll do it for them. Scroll down to see all these awwdorable abyssinians below!
