The Australian Mist, formerly known as the Spotted Mist, is a breed of cat developed in Australia. Australian Mists are medium-sized short-haired cats, with a round head and large eyes. The coat is very short and lacks an undercoat. They do not require much brushing because they lose little hair. Australian Mists are tolerant of handling and are not inclined to scratch. As kittens they are lively, but are less so when mature. Australian Mists can be excellent indoor cats, which also protects native wildlife.
