Respond to this video... OMG LOVES!!! I've adored these cats since I first came across them in high school. Couldn't have one back then, but I'm getting one sometime this year as soon as the breeder I'm in contact with lets me know there's one available for me. Haha he's so cute. Darn that fly for having a sense of self-preservation! :P *Grin*
@streamgaze Abyssinian breeders tried for years to eliminate longhairs from showing up in litters, until one UK breeder had a cat returned to her who had turned out to have a long coat. She thought he was stunning, and with others interested in these longhair Abys decided to propose a "Long-Haired Abyssinian" breed. Other Aby breeders insisted that the longhairs absolutely could not be called 'Abyssinian', so she came up with 'Somali' since Somalia borders Ethiopia (formerly Abyssinia).
Where did you get this guy? He's adorable! I'm in the market to get a kitten and have been wanting a Somali since I was a kid. Any tips as to what to look for in kittens?

People who are saying that Somali cats are not from Somalia are just Idiotic SERIOUSLY. Why would anyone name a cat after a country it is not from? Somali cats are indigenous to Somalia and when the European colonists like the Italians, British and the French came to Somali they loved these cute cats so much they deported some to their countries to breed them. That is why there are a lot of European breeders of Somali cats today. Anyways to the poster of this video LOVE the cat it is so CUTE.
@SAHRA125 where are u getting this so-called history?? i've read their history and they were named somali cats because somalia is near ethiopia, which used to be called abyssinia, the country after which abyssinian cats were named. since somali cats are descendents of abyssinian cats they named them with a country close to ethiopia! do your research.
LOOL "fat moron" i am 5'8 and 123bl you should not be talking about anyone being "fat Canadian. Aren't u guys second place in the fattest countries in the world?
@SAHRA125 You really need to check your facts before you post. Somali cats aren't from Somalia and Canada is not the second fattest country in the world but rather the 35th country.
So i might have been wrong in my first post. I have seen these kind of cats before back i Somalia. That is why i said what i said before. Anyways i have done my research and now i know that they are a mix. Who cares where they are from anyways, they are beautiful cats.
My 12 year old Somali woke up from her nap the moment this video started. LOL

Why do cats do that? Aren't they supposed to be quiet while hunting?

I wonder what he's saying.
0:56- "Get down from there! I want to catch you..."
1:44- "Where'd you go. I know you were RIGHT THERE. Where did you go?!"
1:56- "I don't know where it went. I don't think I like this game anymore..."

A Somali cat is a long haired version of an Abyssinian.
