Wow what beautiful tails they have! Just gorgeous!

Excuse me for my ignorance, but is their coat hair short hair with a big bushy tail? I will go read about Somalis! I just love those tails.

Somalis are considered longhair. Their ruffs and breeches are suppose to be long while the hair on the shoulders short. Neither of mine have really good ruffs. Veeshan has awesome breeches (can't see in that picture) and Kingston does not. Kingston is still young so he should still get more coat. Every Somali is different I have been told.

I just read some info on those little foxes! And read that physically they take a while to mature, so Kingston probably wont have all his hair come in until he matures. They are so beautiful!!!

Ever since the first cat show I attended years ago,
I have admired the beauty of Somalis.
Veeshan & Kingston are stunning.

Very gorgeous cats! Do you have to brush them, like most long-hairs?

No they do not matt so I do not have to brush them. They both are show cats so they do get groomed with full bath, comb, and dry before every show.
