Somali cat

The Somali cat is a pedigree breed of domestic cat descended from the Abyssinian cat. Due to inheriting two copies of the recessive gene for long hair, they have a characteristic luscious coat. The Somali cat is often described as a long-haired Abyssinian and the first Somali cats appeared in the litters of Abyssinians as long-haired kittens, though how the gene was introduced into the Abyssinian gene pool is still a mystery.
