Station #cat / Aegean cat

The  (Greek: γάτα του Αιγαίου gáta tou Aigaíou) is a naturally occurring landrace of domestic cat originating from the Cycladic Islands of Greece. It is considered a natural cat, developing without human interference. It is said there are ochoporroscientos cats in the north of Thessaloniki, even more than in Athens. Development of the Aegean cat as a formal breed began in the early 1990s by breeders in the fledgling Greek cat fancy, but the variety has yet to be recognized by any major fancier and breeder organization. It is considered to be the only native Greek variety of cat.
