Abyssinian cats are such a beautiful work of art to look at. The trademark of the Abyssinian breed is the ticked effect of its fur; where their fur appears to be finely speckled, as well as giving off an iridescent effect. It causes their fur to look as if it changes colors in different lightings or with each movement of the cats. 
Abyssinian kittens will be born with darker coats that will lighten as they mature. The common and officially recognized colors for Abyssinian cats are ruddy, sorrel, blue, and fawn. 
A ruddy Abyssinian cat’s coat, for example, is a deep, reddish-brown with black-colored fur underneath. A sorrel Abyssinian cat, also sometimes described as red or cinnamon, has a sunny orange coat tinted with red undertones that differs them from ruddy-colored ones. A blue-colored Abyssinian cat appears to have a magnificent silvery, bluish coat with a warm beige base and a fawn-colored Abyssinian cat is a much lighter, almost pastel orange color with a soft, creamy peach base. 
The kittens also have mesmerizing blue eyes, which will only gradually change into their respective colors when they turn around 5 months old. As they mature, the common colors that their eyes will turn into will be hazel, yellow, or green, according to their genetics and regardless of the color of their coats.
