Description:
Active and beautiful, Somalis are longhaired relatives of Abyssinians with lively, curious personalities.

Fun Fact:
Somalis are often described as fox like because of their bushy tails and bright coats.

History:
The Somali developed from longhaired kittens appearing in Abyssinian breeding lines. Breeders recognized their beauty and established them as a separate breed. Today, Somalis are loved for their athletic nature, intelligence, and striking ticked coats.
