Australian Mist

[Dimon]

The Australian Mist (formerly known as the Spotted Mist) was developed in Australia, the breed was developed by crossing the Burmese, Abyssinian, and Domestic shorthair cats to create a shorthaired cat with a spotted coat.
Australian Mists are medium-sized shorthaired cats, with a round head and large, expressive eyes.
The coat patterns have three levels of definition; (1) ground colour, paler than pattern; (2) pattern, delicate though distinct from ground colour; (3) appears to wear a misted veil, caused by random ticking in the solid colour areas.
As a relatively new breed, most Australian Mist catteries are in Australia, however there are a few in the U.K. and some desexed cats have been introduced to America and several other countries.
