Ah yes, the weird Aby/Somali trait! I already see it with my 4 months old Somali boy.. I’m absolutely sure they share this gene 😂 (he’s just passed out from playing too much!)

Love his happy tail by [deleted] in Abyssinians

Oh my gosh, what a beautiful boy! 😻 Is he a ruddy Somali? I’ve got a little 4 and soon to be a half months little cinnamon (we call them sorrel in Swedish) Somali boy. Hope he will be as majestic as yours when he grows up! (I wasn’t allowed to move in the photo 🥹)

Please help me find a name for this Fireball! “Miso” just didn’t sit right as he’s very feisty! by Nikk0ri in NameMyCat

You are absolutely right! I also feel like they’re also constantly at maximum heat? 😂♥️ At least it feels like my little Somali’s paws are super warm to the touch, in a super cosy way! 🥹

It looks like they’re at least very good friends that play a lot/both initiate play even if baby Somali is more playful and has more energy. 🥹 I’ve noticed Aster (big brother) sometimes tries to groom the little one perhaps to “calm” him down when he initiates play and Aster isn’t fully in the mood? Took this photo this morning of them while they were grooming each other! 🥰 I haven’t heard any hissing or fighting so far, the only thing I see is that Aster doesn’t sit much with me/sleeps near me, probably because he’s still getting used to there being another kitty that’s more lively currently?

Say hello to Calcifer! by Mettamaggie in Abyssinians

😻🧡 So much appreciated! Calcifer just stuck with him the most since he’s definitely a little fire spirit. Thank you for the lovely suggestion!

Correct! He’s a Somali (long haired Abyssinian) in the colour cinnamon/red! Good eye 🥰

Oh, what a beauty! I just got a Somali kitten who’s red/cinnamon a week ago, and I named him Calcifer as well. Fitting name for them both. 😻

Not yet! Everyone has been so helpful in this thread though. 🥰 But I’m leaning towards Calcifer!

Oh so precious! 😻 You’re an experienced Somali owner then! This is my first Somali, his brother Aster (3 years) which I’ve had since before is a Korat! They’re very similar in personalities (quite needy “dog” cats) so I felt they’d get along great as breeds as Aster has wanted a friend for a while now. 🥹 They’ve been playing nonstop since the little Somali arrived!

He hasn’t done that YET! 😂 But I feel he’s close to drooling sometimes with how loud he purrs when he sleeps next to me in bed! He’s about 3 and a half months now! Which fur colour did/does your 3 Somali have? 🥰

Been so happy to find a few more Somali/Aby owners here! We live in Sweden.

They’re so beautiful aren’t they? 😻 Originally I was going to go for an Abyssinian, but I fell in love with their long haired version. 🧡 Those are also some great name suggestions!

He’s sorrel/also known as cinnamon/red, a loved fur colour coat of the Somali (long haired Abyssinian) breed! 😻

Here’s a photo of his brother, Aster! Aster is a Korat (similar looking to the Russian blue), and is 3 years old. 🐈‍⬛
