The Somali cat, also called the Fox Cat, is a medium to large longhaired African breed which inherited a recessive gene for long hair from the Abyssinian.
The Somali cat has a muscular body, large almond-shaped eyes, large pointy ears, and bold facial markings, a fluffy tail and fine, silky-smooth fur. It is medium-large in size with a semi-long, ticked coat. Males and females are about the same size of 11 to 14 inches in length, although males tend to be larger. Males on average are 8-13lbs in weight while females are 6-10lbs in weight. A Somali kitten is about 2 pounds at 8 weeks of age and remains a kitten until reaching maturity at 18 months.
It evolved from Abyssinians which were exported to North America, Australia, and New Zealand in the 1940s, though it was commonly believed longhaired non-Abyssinian cats or a cousin of the Abyssinian was introduced into the gene pool. Their descendants were longhaired Abyssinians or Somalis which first appeared in 1953 and were named for Somalia being the neighbor to modern-day Ethiopia (Abyssinia) and where their ancestors were imported from.
