The Spotted Mist is now known as the Australian Mist. In 1998, the name of the breed was changed to better reflect its country of origin and to help promote it as an Australian breed. The Australian Mist is a breed of cat that was developed in Australia in the 1970s, and it is known for its spotted coat, affectionate personality, and playful nature. The breed was created by crossing a Burmese, Abyssinian, and domestic shorthair, and it was originally called the Spotted Mohave.
