The Australian Mist was developed in 1976 by Dr. Truda Straede. Native to Australia, this breed is a cross between an Abyssinian, a Burmese, and other short hair domestic cats. This method enabled Dr. Straede to breed short haired cats with spotted coats. They were called "Spotted Mist" until 1998 when marbled coats became an excepted part of their breed.

Australian Mist are the ideal pet for cat lovers of all ages. They are playful and lovable companions that enjoy human contact. They rarely scratch, and they can tolerate handling, which makes them an ideal pet for small children. Kittens are energetic and lively, while adults prefer to curl up in your lap. Typically, Australian Mist are indoor cats.
