===========================================================

Energetic, playful, and outgoing, these felines inherited some of the best traits and distinctive looks from their parents. Wild Jungle cats, crossbred with Abyssinians. They’re also one of the largest domestic cat breeds.

The Chausie Cat Breed.

The history of the Chausie may go back to ancient Egyptian times, when people would domesticate jungle cats and even mummify them. However, it was in 1990 that jungle cats from the swamps of south-central Asia, were intentionally bred with the Abyssinian, likely in the United States, and the outcome was the Chausie.

Despite the breed's wild cat heritage, the Chausie is actually renowned as a super social, people-friendly cat.

The Chausie was officially granted championship status, by the International Cat Association in 2013.

The Chausie is a large-sized cat breed.
Most Chausies weigh in at 15 to 30 pounds. That said, some may be larger or smaller than average.

The Chausie's coat comes in three colors, Brown tabby, solid black, and grizzled tabby.

When it comes to grooming, the Chausie is a very low maintenance breed of feline. You can brush their coat once a week, which will help lessen the chances of hairballs, or mats forming. But in general, this is not a cat who sheds much, or requires a lot of hands-on grooming from their humans.

When it comes to climate, the Chausie is generally an adaptable breed of cat. Although, you should always make sure that there's enough shade and freshwater available during the hotter months.

First of all, there's no getting around the fact, that the Chausie retains a lot of their wild cat traits. This breed will be active for long portions of the day, and prefers to act in an athletic manner, rather than a delicate and dainty one.

The Chausie, is a cat who makes a lot of demands on their owner, and needs a high degree of interaction and play time. In many cases, the breed has shown a willingness to play fetch with toys!

The Chausie is also known to be a very intelligent feline, so you'll want to constantly keep them challenged with a series of smart and interactive toys, that you rotate on a regular basis. Despite the Chausie's energetic traits, they're also a cat who will form very strong and loving bonds, with the adult humans in their life. Long term bonding with the breed, will prove that there's definitely an affectionate side to the feline.

The Chausie, is not usually recommended as a cat who does well with young children. This is because the breed retains some wild instincts and traits, from their Jungle Cat heritage.

When it comes to other household pets, the Chausie fares well with many domestic animals, especially dogs. However, you'll want to supervise early interactions between the new cat and existing pets.

Ultimately, early socialization really pays off with this breed. Make sure to reward your Chausie for good behavior, when you bring them home to your family.
