Felis catus

Hauska Fakta

Somalis are sometimes called 'fox cats' because of their bushy tails, large ears, and the way their ticked coat gives them a distinctly foxy silhouette.

The longhaired Abyssinian — a fox-like beauty with a plumed tail, tufted ears, and a warm, full ticked coat that shimmers with color bands. Playful, intelligent, and mischievous. The long coat gene was hidden in Abyssinian lines and emerged in the 1960s.
