Somali Cat or Style Icon? Judge’s Beard Says Both! #ticacats #cat #pets
Best breed Somali. Long-haired version of our abbisoncinian. Same same standard as the abbisoncinian just in a long coat. It’s not a big Persian coat, but it’s obviously longer hair than what we have on our abbisoncinian. Beautiful ready. Nice ticking to the coat. This is a tabbyat where they’ve bred it for many generations to not exhibit barring in the body. It only shows barring on each individual hair shaft. So, that’s what we’re looking for on each. Nice proportions in the body, legs, body tail, all the same. Beautiful large ears cupped forward. Moderate profile, so it’s not extreme straight and it’s not extreme short and round. So, it’s somewhere in in between that. You have a nice open almond shape to the eyes. You talk about a clear coat, the clarity to the coat just means that there’s no barring. This is my best to breed Somali and is my ninth best.
When the judge’s beard perfectly matches the cat’s coat… it’s a Somali and Judge Harley in the ring! 🧡😂
With that fiery ruddy glow and a tail like a fox, the Somali is elegance in motion — full of charm, energy, and that wild, exotic look that turns heads.
Fun fact: Somalis are actually the longhaired version of the Abyssinian — same personality, more floof!

Twinsies!
When I see these cats, it really reminds me of the Sahara Desert.
Gorgeous. They come in 3 other colors; this Ruddy is the most common but there is also Blue, Fawn, and Cinnamon (used to be called Red). My late great Max, retired show cat, was a Red that kept his bright red color even into his frail old age. Miss him.

The cat's body language seems kinda nervous and uneasy…
Cat can be neutered/spaying in this contests ?
What a calm cat lol
