Well, don’t beat yourself up too bad, since they are a relatively new breed of cat. The first Australian Mist was created in 1976, however, most of these cats remained in Australia for quite some time. During the 20th century these friendly breeds started making appearances in the United Kingdom and the Americas. A cat that is friendly and thrives on human attention should be shared, don’t you think?<\/p>\n
Australian Mist Fast Fact – <\/strong>Although they were originally named Spotted Mist, the name was changed to Australian Mist in 1998 when cats with marbled coats were considered to be part of this breed. I guess they didn’t want to offend the marbled cats by calling them “spotted”.<\/p>\nThat does it for our Domesticated Wild Fact. We will get back to the true wild animals tomorrow so make sure you stop by to see what we are talking about.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
