The Singapura is a small cat and a newer addition
to the United States show ring. There is much confusion as to its
origin. The base stock of all the Singapura cats in the United States
is just four cats. They all belong to one American breeder. The
future of these cats is in question because the gene pool is small.
The breed is still being developed in the U.S. The Singapura was
recognized in championship standing in 1988. In its second season
of show it realized an amazing triumph. It won 22 grand championship
titles.
This cat has coloring unlike any other breed. Although small, he
has a somewhat stocky body that is muscular. When he stands, his
body, legs and the floor form a square. The only acceptable eye
colors are hazel, yellow, or green. The eyes and ears must be large.
The legs of this cat are thick and muscular. His coat is silky,
fine and short. The only grooming required is a combing occasionally.
The only color variety is sepia with ticked fur and you will only
see the Singapura as a shorthaired.
This is an active cat that loves to be with his humans. He gets
along great with other animals and the female is very loving and
maternal with her litters. |
