Somali Cat
Somali cat appeared in the 1950s as offspring of Abyssinian cats matings with other breeds. Initially these longhair Abyssinian cats were considered undesirable and were not taken seriously.
But in 1970, an American breeder recognized their beauty, named the breed (calling it Somali because of Somalia’s geographic proximity to Ethiopia) and began and extensive breeding program. Since than Somali cat popularity has spread from United States to the other parts of the world.
