 Australian
Mist Cat
The Australian Mist was
developed in Australia starting in the 1980s.
The original name for this
breed, Spotted Mist, was changed to Australian Mist in 1998 when the marbled
(classic tabby) pattern was added to the acceptable pattenrs for the breed.
There was also the desire to reflect its national heritage as the only
breed of pedigreed cat to date developed entirely in that country.
They are moderate cats, medium
boned, with rounded heads and large eyes and ears. The coat is short but
resilient, with a plump-furred tail.
As the older name suggests,
Mist cats are delicately spotted and available in a wide range of soft
colors. They are fun-loving, but very easygoing and relaxed.
Associations: The Australian
Mist is accepted for championship status in the Australian Cat Federation
and in Catz (New Zealand).
