Somali cats

If you are looking for an interactive, intelligent cat, a Somali might be for you. Somali cats are known for being playful and affectionate. They love following their owners around and love to sit in your lap. Somali cats are good with kids and good in a multi-pet home. They are friendly and adapt well to their owners homes.

Somali’s have beautiful long hair, but without the fuss of constant brushing or shedding, though Somali’s do love to be brushed and see brushing as a sign of affection.

A female Somali weighs on the average of 6-10 pounds, while the males are about 10-12 pounds. The Somali coat is said to look like a cat in fox clothing. Kittens tend to be darker and less warm colored. As the Somali matures, about 18 months, his coat will develop into its full color.

Somali cats are not recommended for the elderly as they can be constantly underfoot following you from room to room.
