Which cat breed is right for you?
The Abyssinian is one of the oldest known cat breeds — believed to have originated in Southeast Asia or the coast of the Indian Ocean, despite being named after Ethiopia (formerly Abyssinia). This medium-sized cat weighs 6–10 pounds and has a lean, muscular build that reflects its athletic nature. The Abyssinian's distinctive ticked tabby coat comes in warm ruddy, red, blue, and fawn shades, giving each hair multiple bands of color.
Abyssinians are endlessly curious, highly active cats that love to climb, explore, and supervise every household activity. They form strong bonds with their families and do well with children and other pets, though they prefer interactive play over being a lap cat. Their intelligence and playful energy make them one of the most engaging companion cats.

The Scottish Fold traces its origins to a single barn cat named Susie, found in Perthshire, Scotland, in 1961 — the first documented cat with the breed's signature forward-folding ears caused by a natural cartilage mutation. This medium-sized cat weighs 6–13 pounds, has a round head, large round eyes, and a stocky, well-padded body. Scottish Folds come in both longhair and shorthair varieties, in virtually every color and pattern including tabby, solid, bicolor, and calico.
Scottish Folds are sweet, easygoing cats known for their quirky habit of sitting in odd positions — including the "Buddha sit" with legs stretched out and paws resting on their belly. They are moderately active and enjoy interactive play without being hyperactive. Gentle with children and amiable with other pets, they adapt well to most living situations.
