Delmun Cat Bahrain In 1997, a few cat enthusiasts got together in the Kingdom of Bahrain and created a cat club.

The main aim of this club was to insure the survival of a beautiful breed of cat called the Delmun cat. Many suspect that the Delmun cat is a hybrid/ subspecies of the endangered Gordon’s wild cat (Arabian Wild Cat) that would have been isolated on the Island of Bahrain when it broke off from Saudi Arabia a few thousand years ago. This species of cat could also be the result of Gordon Wild cat hyb

rid with domestic cats that came off Portuguese ships in the 14th century during their many trips to Bahrain. Another line of investigation has appeared as Dr. Carlos Driscoll from Oxford University has discovered a special ancient domestic cat gene that is rampant in the Delmun population and that might be a main reason for their unique appearance and behaviour. Whatever their ancestry, these cats are one of the most ancient and naturally spotted tabby cats to join the ranks of pedigree cats today. In 2001, the Bahraini ministry of Social Development gave these cats special status and allowed the cat enthusiast to create the first Cat Society in the Arabian Gulf region. Moreover, in 2006, the Bahraini government extended this to naming the Delmun cat as a National breed.
