The Somali is a breathtaking cat to behold. It bears an uncanny resemblance to a little fox, with its large ears, masked face, full ruff and bushy tail. The Somali’s wild, feral look is what immediately draws fascinated attention.

Here you can research each of the cat breeds, and discover about their looks, temperaments, behavior and more. There are also pictures of all the cat breeds and links to cat breeders.

Somalis are intelligent cats, and while active, they have soft voices and are usually quiet. They communicate with human family members through soft mews and possess a charming trill. They are extroverts and very social. Possessed with a zest for life, they love to play, solicit nuzzles and pats, and thrive on human companionship. Somalis have bursts of energy several times a day, at which time they will take off through the house, jumping into the air. They toss balls and toys in the air, fetch them back and begin the game anew. Tail and back arched, the Somali will run sideways like a monkey, and even hold objects and food the way a monkey does. Adept at opening cupboards and drawers, Somalis sometimes hide inside their secret areas. Many Somalis can manipulate faucets, and they love to play with water.

Somalis have the tabby "M" on their foreheads, and display pencil-strokes of darker colour drawn out from the corners of their eyes. As the darker colour also rims their eyes, Somalis may look as if they're wearing eye liner. They usually have no white on them, other than white around their mouths and under their chins. They also shed very little, less than many short-haired cats. They have two seasonal moults in spring and autumn (USA: fall), but otherwise shed minimally throughout the year.

Many Somalis exhibit what breeders jokingly refer to as the "hairdresser gene". For some reason, many Somalis seem to have a need to "dress" the hair of their human owners! Many Somalis will try to groom their owners' hair, beards, and moustaches, particularly if they are wearing any kind of hair-care product such as hairspray or mousse.

Like Abyssinians, Somalis are generally quiet cats, with soft voices they don't use a great deal. Somalis are adept communicators, but don't rely on their voices to do so. They communicate with human family members through soft mews and possess a charming trill. This can be frustrating for breeders, as some few Somali females may have a "silent heat" (in heat but doesn't call). Buyers of pet Somali females should also be careful to have their female spayed as soon as she is old enough for this reason, so an inadvertant breeding doesn't take place. Somali females have been known to go into heat as young as five months.

Somalis have gold or green eyes in all colours. Females are smaller than males, weighing about 6-10 pounds on average as adults. Males are an average of 10-12 pounds as adults, although some may be larger. The Somali coat colour develops slowly, and doesn't show its full, mature ticking and colouring until age 18 months. Kittens tend to be darker and less warm-coloured than they will be in adulthood.

Somalis generally have longer hair over their chests (ruff) and on their hindquarters (breeches). Their tails are full and brushy, almost like that of a fox.
