I have added the last and 12th picture as a comparison. You can see a marked difference to the shape of the cat's shape. In the early 20th century the Abyssinian cat had a more cobby shape. Selective breeding created what breeders consider to be a more elegant looking cat - called "foreign" body shape.

The Abyssinian is a tabby cat with few markings (tail and forehead). There are some subtle color types. The ruddy color is the one we are familiar with. Blue (gray ) is also popular. Personally, I think that this cat should have one color.
