The Abyssinian cat is a famous short-haired cat. It is said that one year, a purebred Abyssinian cat gave birth to a long-haired cat. Biologists found that this was a genetic mutation. After hearing the news, several cat lovers bred this long-haired cat, and today's Somali cat was born. After breeding and cultivation in Europe and the United States, there are now four varieties. Therefore, except for the different length of hair, Somali cats and Alcinians look like twins. It was not until 1983 that they were recognized by the British Cat Association, and in 1991 they won the championship status in the British Cat Fanciers Management Committee.

Crimson is the representative color of Abyssinian cats and Somali cats, and it is the most common. All Somali cats have amber, light brown or green eyes.

Somali cats are very smart, gentle and considerate. They can be as lively as monkeys, and the way they grab food or things is also like monkeys. Because they all like to play with water, most Somali cats know how to turn on the faucet.

The taut muscles and serious face of the Somali cat give people a very wild feeling. The motor nerves are extremely developed, so they are agile, like to move freely, and their calls are particularly clear and loud, so they are not suitable for keeping in apartments. It is a complex of contradictions. It has both aloofness and attachment to its owner. After the owner returns home, he will always pay attention to the owner's behavior. Although he is aloof and solitary, once the owner calls, he will run to the owner at lightning speed.
