Singapura

The Singapura has a coat similar to that of an agouti. The same pattern can also be found on Abyssinian cats, rabbits, squirrels and shrews. The fur is short, close-fitting and shiny. There are stripes on the inside of the front legs and the back knees. The head is round with an 'M' marking on the forehead. The eyes and ears are very large. The ears are wide at the base and pointed at the end. The eyes can be hazelnut, green and yellow. The nose is short and the limbs are of moderate length. All Singapura cats have the same color of fur, which is also the only color recognized by CFA - the base color of ancient ivory and the tips of the hair are dyed with dark brown, which forms the dark brown agouti pattern. Its fur color often gives people a feeling of weakness, but the fact is just the opposite. Although it is small, it is a muscular cat.

Originated from Singapore

The Singapore cat originated in Singapore. It was discovered in the early 1970s. It is a very small cat. It is the smallest cat breed among all cat breeds currently recognized.

The Singapore cat is more active, playful and curious. It likes to run around and even get into the sewer. Therefore, it was not popular in Singapore in the early days, and many people did not like it. It is also due to the poor living environment that leads to its petite body. Many veterinarians think that Singapore cats are immature kittens when they first see them. Indeed! The maturity period of the Singapura cat is about 15 to 24 months. Even when they reach maturity, they will not grow very big. The weight of an adult female Singapura cat is generally only 5 to 6 pounds, and the weight of an adult male is only 6 to 8 pounds. Therefore, when there are very few Singapura cats, people who do not know this breed of cats, even if they see adult Singapura cats, still think that they are just Singapura cat babies less than 8 months old, which is understandable.

In 1975, Tommy returned to the United States and brought back 3 Singapura cats and began breeding. Since then, it has been recognized by countries around the world and has become an important pet cat breed. In 1981, Hal and Tommy applied to CFA and obtained permission from CFA. Since then, Singapura cats have begun to be registered and bred in CFA. Until 1988, Singapura cats finally received recognition and approval from CFA and were allowed to participate in the championship.

Although the Singapore cat is quiet, it is sometimes curious and agile, often running around lively. In fact, as long as it is raised properly, it is very loyal to its owner and likes to keep people company. Due to its small size and quiet voice, it will not cause much trouble to its owner. The Singapore cat is very docile and non-aggressive, so it can be raised with confidence even if there are babies at home.
