About the Australian Mist

The Australian Mist is a cat breed developed in Australia. It comes from crosses between the Abyssinian, Burmese, and domestic shorthair spotted tabby cats. Its name reflects its faded-looking coat, which may show spotted or marbled tabby patterns. The breed's eyes are green, and its coat includes eumelanistic colours. These details distinguish the Australian Mist's appearance: the pattern can be spotted or marbled, while the overall coat has a softened, faded look. The breed originated in Australia and is classified as a cat.
