Obscure Cat Breed of the Month

This beautiful cat, which resembles a longhaired Abyssinian, is our Obscure Cat Breed of the Month. Despite its name, the Somali breed does not originate in Africa; rather, breeders in Canada and the United States cultivated this breed.Somalis are a lively cat with a bushy tail; hence its nickname the “Fox Cat.” Its dense, soft coat is ticked in the manner associated with wild cats. Their accep...ted colors are blue, fawn, red and ruddy. They are also available in silver, but this color is not accepted by many cat associations. These cats are extroverted, active, inquisitive, very affectionate and people-oriented. They can be stubborn and, as always, obedience is better won with love and praise rather than punishment.
