This medium sized, short haired cat and inquisitive eyes Australian Mist is developed by crossing of different breeds of cats which have different characteristics; that the developers wanted to induce into one package, that included the Burmese, Abyssinian and random Shorthair Domestic cats and eventually this genetic combo leads to the inheritance of certain features of laid back nature & loving personality from Burmese; the intelligence and ticked coat from the Abyssinian and the genetic hardiness from the Domestic Shorthair cats.

As they have been inflicted genes of so friendly and active donors that it is perfect for any age group or environment as opposed to the extreme nature of other breeds; the crossing between different factions have resulted in the cancellation of these negative aspects or have either been minimized for instance Abyssinian; they are playful and they easily mingle with the residents of the house ranging from the very young children to adults as they are very calm relax and don’t scratch; which makes them safe for small children. But Aby’s hardly like to sit in the lap or stay put for a while but Australian Mist do that thanks to the genes that it got from Burmese which inculcated this trait in their personality one other thing which adds more attraction to this breed of cats; Australian Mist is their eyes, they are so eye-catching which simply takes one’s heart away they come in different shades of green which are breathtaking, where its cool, calm and relax demeanor multiplies the adorability of this creature.

They are very social and like to play, stay active and have fun even when they grow up; they don’t lose this spark in their personality, they do are friendly towards humans and likes more to hang around with them thanks to the genetics of Abyssinian but the presence of other animals also don’t bothers them. Their fur coat is short and dense this is where the genes of Burmese comes into play; which makes the maintenance easy for these cats as they only need to be brushed weekly. They eat a lot and they are prone to obesity therefore the food intake should be monitored and if the situation leads to obesity then properly regulation for the food intake must be exercised because that can badly effect the health of Australian Mist. They have strong teethes and they must be given something to chew onto.

One of the interesting aspect to the personality of Australian mist is that they respond to the human vocals or instructions and if they are properly trained they are likely going to understand some of the basic instruction used in daily life i.e. stand, sit, stop and come but they like dogs also like to fetch things !!
