Are Singapuras aggressive

Answer 1

Enchanting, beguiling, endearing are often the first words people use to describe a Singapura. Initially, it is their deceptively delicate appearance coupled with the angelic face that makes these cats so special. However, the true secret to these little charmers is their captivating personality. Due to their rarity, there can be a wait to obtain a Singapura. Nevertheless, to those lucky enough to live with or work with the breed, there is simply nothing like a Singapura.

The Singapura is a small to medium cat. Adult males weigh approximately six to seven pounds. Adult females weigh between four and five pounds. Singapuras have a finely ticked (agouti) coat pattern. Ticking refers to the presence of bands of different color on each individual hair shaft. In nature, ticking often provides camouflage allowing the animal to blend into the background. The coat is short, silky, and close lying. Some barring is on the inner front legs and knees on the hind legs. When viewed from the side, the body and legs should form a square rather than the elongation typical of oriental breeds. The head should be rounded, medium length with good width at the eye level. The muzzle of the Singapura is of medium length and square. Remnants of the tabby "M" are visible on the forehead along with "cheetah" lines extending down from the inner corner of the eyes. Eyes and ears should be noticeably large. Eye color can be hazel, green or yellow. Singapuras all have the same coloration, only one color is allowed, dark brown ticking on an old ivory ground color, the underside is the color of unbleached muslin. This coloration gives the impression of delicacy but do not be fooled, the Singapura is a muscular, although small cat.

The Singapura remains a rare cat. Since they are considered a natural breed, only Singapura to Singapura matings are allowed. Average litter size is between two and three kittens. Another factor attributed to their small numbers is that Singapuras mature more slowly than other cats. Females may not have their first heat cycle until they are one year old; males mature around the same time. Their small numbers do not reflect their acceptance with either breeders or the public. Many breeders maintain a waiting list for kittens.
