In the last few articles, we said that the triplet Maine cat, the Norwegian forest cat, and the Siberian forest cat in the snow are all large and have a wild atmosphere, and the Maine cat is the level of the "giant" among the cats.
After talking about so many large cats, do you know who the smallest cat in the world is? Haha, that's right, that's what we're talking about – Singaporean cats.
When encountering the forest cats above, Ono is embarrassed to call them "kittens", but this cat with only different flavors is a solid "little one". Now let's take a walk into the world of Singaporean cats and see what kind of story it has.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="8" > origin</h1>
Singapore cat, also known as Lion City cat. Named after their native Singapore, they are currently considered the youngest of all cats. However, they are not small because they are pampered and pampered from a young age, and unlike other countries like Turkey and Russia, Singapore cats are not a national treasure of Singaporeans. Maybe people in Singapore don't like the cat species? The life of the Singapore cat can be described as very tragic.
It is rumored that Singapore cats came from stray cats on the streets of early Singapore, but they were very unpopular in Singapore, eating the last meal without eating, and in order to shelter from the wind and rain, they often had to live in the sewers to survive. Therefore, they are also called "gutter cats" and "sewer cats". Due to the harsh living environment, their size has become more and more petite.
Although not popular in Singapore, they are liked by other countries. In 1975, Tommy from the United States fell in love with Singapore cats at first sight, so he took three Singaporean cats back to the United States to start breeding work, in 1988 Singapore cats were recognized by the CFA, since then singapore cats have officially entered our field of vision, recognized by the world as an officially recognized pet cat breed, the Singapore Tourism Board also began to confirm the Singapore cat as a national mascot.
However, there was a scandal circulating at the time, and it was revealed that the three Singapore cats that Tommy brought back from Singapore were actually pets he had brought to Singapore from the United States, and were described as Abyssinian cats on the import certificate. Recent DNA studies have shown that Singapore cats are genetically indistinguishable from Burmese cats. To this day, the debate over the origin of the Singapore cat continues.

Singapore cats, like Singapore, are small. The grown female cat is less than 2 kg, and the heaviest male cat is rarely more than 2.5 kg, half the size of a normal domestic cat, and they belong to the "dwarfs" of cats. Even many people think of them as immature kittens when they first see them. They have large eyes and a pair of large ears with their own eyeliner, which makes them look more like a childlike little Lolita.
Don't look at the Singapore cats are small, they are a good bully, they are a cat with a strong muscle. The nose is short, the well-developed chin and the tip of the nose are a vertical line, the limbs are moderately long, strong and muscular, and they are elegant and impressive.

Singapore cats have a delicate and silky coat texture, very short and shiny, and cling to the skin. All Singapore cats have the same colour of fur, paleo ivory background and seal fur tip, which creates a dark brown stinging. The cusp color of the coat contrasts sharply with the color of the underlying coat, but there is no cuminal color on the lower abdomen and the inside of the limbs, and their foreheads have obvious "M" shaped markings. Kittens are mostly born with a solid color and a white belly, and this beautiful coat takes about 2-3 years to color.

Among the cat breeds, the Singapore cat is definitely a very sticky one. They have a gentle and quiet personality, a sweet voice, and like to follow in your footsteps and win people's love for them. They need to interact with people regularly, want to get your attention all the time, and they can be depressed if ignored. For people who don't often stay at home, Singaporean cats may not be the best option.
Perhaps because of the early long-term hermitage in the sewers or gutters, The Singapore cats, who had a good life, cherished their current lives so much, so they were not as arrogant and cold as other cats, but they were very outgoing and lively, intelligent and clingy, and they lived carefully, as if they were afraid that one day they would be abandoned back in the gutters. If you can touch them more, they will be very happy.
They are curious and agile little guys, and they are not very destructive cats because they act carefully. However, they may not have forgotten the living habits of their ancestors, who like to drill down and even drill into the sewers, which may make people feel very headaches.
Singapore cats rarely have breed-related health problems, no bottom hair and no need to wash them frequently. However, due to their petite size, Singapore cats need to pay special attention to their diet, and they almost have to have a caesarean section when giving birth to a baby, which requires special attention from the shoveler.
The Singapore cat is no longer the homeless man we once were, so we don't have the illusion of going around Singapore, looking around the sewers by the way, maybe we will turn back a small cute cat. Now their value is different from the past, not only is it difficult to see in the streets, but also it is difficult to buy on the market. They are rare in China and have very few people, so it is not easy to buy a Singapore cat, so remember to distinguish between them before buying a Singapore cat.
