That’s right, the Aegean cat is a national treasure of Greece. The breed is rare around the world, but in Greece and surrounding islands in the Aegean Sea, he’s quite popular and not hard to find. In fact, the cat is named after the Aegean Sea. The Aegean breed was declared an official breed some 20 years ago. In recent years a group of archeologists have discovered evidence showing the Aegean to be among the first domesticated cats. The Aegean is suited to island life and enjoys fishing and hanging out around the water. He is of a medium build and has a lean and muscular body. The Aegean’s eyes are diamond shaped and come in various shades of green. This particular breed of cat is one of the few to develop over time without the interaction or intervention of people.
