History
Somali cat race is a version of "semi-long hair" from the Abyssinian. Around the year 1920 until the 1930s, from a breeding program, this version of the semi-long hair appeared spontaneously. Some Abyssinian kitten has a tail with a thick feather, inflate like a brush and long hair that covers the entire body.
Long hair is a recessive gene (lost / covered) compared with the short hair gene. At first long-haired cats are not recognized. Many Abyssinian breeders do not want to admit that some of the kittens they produce long-haired, because it shows the genetic impurity Aby cats belong to them. In order to improve the stability of the genetic type of cat Aby, Aby long hairy removed from the breeding program and has been hidden. Only about 1960 breeders in the United States began to develop a long-haired Aby and registered as a separate race called Somali. New Somali in 1978 is considered as one race with genetic traits that is stable and has a class of its own role in the contest held by a cat Cat Fanciers Association (CFA). In 1991 the organization's cat enthusiasts English (Great Britain Cat Association) to recognize and participate in the contest to allow Somali cats.
Somali characteristics similar to the Abyssinian, unless the long fur. As in the Persian exotic longhair and shorthair, persian these two races have similar characteristics, except for feather length. Some other races are also formed from the long fur variations, such as the Cymric (long hair version of the Manx) and Tiffanie (long hair version of burmilla).
