Domestic European Cat is considered to be the second oldest breed in the world because it is a mutation of Abyssinian that is known for over 3000 years. It is believed that –for the variety of colors-it’s the foundation of breeds: short-haired, British Blue, American Short-haired, Blue Russian and Chartreux.

Due to their history and great population, they are not considered a pure breed but Creole, still in beauty expositions they can participate like other breeds.

They were given this name once they were taken to Europe.
It is the most common cat with all the varieties of colors. There is no color that defines them, although some models exist like the spotted ones, also called tabby tiger striped.

Cats that present three colors are always females, known as tortoise shell, tortoise white shell or blue cream. On the other hand yellow tabby are always males.
