Singapura Kittens for Sale - Cat Breed Information

Size : Medium

Origin : Singapore

INTRODUCTION
The Singapura is a shorthaired cat distinguished by its large eyes and its unusual warm beige, brown-ticked coat. The coat colour is called either sepia agouti or brown ticked agouti; despite the different names, it is the same colour and the only colour in which Singapuras are found.
The original home of the Singapura is the island of Singapore, with the breed taking its name from the local Malay name for the island meaning "Lion City". Singapuras descended from a type of cat native to Singapore, sometimes referred to as the "drain cat" of Singapore. The breed is the result of a combination of genes indigenous to South East Asia, both the brown as in Siamese and Burmese and the agouti or ticked pattern.

APPEARANCE
The Singapura is an alert, healthy, medium sized cat of foreign type. The body has good bone structure and is moderately stocky and muscular, yet gives an impression of great elegance. Females tend to be slightly smaller than males. The breed has noticeably large eyes and ears. Remnants of the tabby "M" are visible on the forehead along with "cheetah" lines extending down from the inner corner of the eyes.
The Singapura is also noted for its ticked (agouti) coat. Singapuras all have the same coloration with only one colour allowed. Body colour is an old, golden ivory with a soft warm effect, ticked with sepia brown. Ticking refers to the presence of bands of different colour on the hair shaft. Each hair on the Singapura has at least two bands of sepia brown ticking separated by light bands, light next to skin and dark tip. Muzzle, chest, stomach and inner legs are an unticked light ivory colour similar to unbleached muslin. Some barring is shown on their inner front legs and back knees.

CHARACTERISTICS
The Singapura has an enchanting personality. To be owned by a Singapura is like having another member of the family, a caring affectionate and sensitive friend. They have soft, gentle voices and love and genuinely seem to need their humans. Being vigorous cats, they are active and lively, with a love of warmth. The desire for closeness with their humans is a trait common to all Singapuras. Their stature makes them gentle cats, but they are also very interactive cats that remain playful throughout their lives. They are mischievous, intelligent and inquisitive, and will investigate anything thoroughly and want to be involved in all their human's activities. They also get along remarkably well with other pet animals. Singapura owners greatly enjoy the charm of this mischievous, good-natured, gentle and outgoing breed.
