The Australian Mist was developed in Australia starting in the 1980s.

The original name for this breed, Spotted Mist, was changed to Australian Mist in 1998 when the marbled (classic tabby) pattern was added to the acceptable pattenrs for the breed. There was also the desire to reflect its national heritage as the only breed of pedigreed cat to date developed entirely in that country.

They are moderate cats, medium boned, with rounded heads and large eyes and ears. The coat is short but resilient, with a plump-furred tail.

As the older name suggests, Mist cats are delicately spotted and available in a wide range of soft colors. They are fun-loving, but very easygoing and relaxed.

Associations: The Australian Mist is accepted for championship status in the Australian Cat Federation and in Catz (New Zealand).
