Somali cats are a lot of fun.
They are doglike creatures, retrieving toys thrown for them, playing in water, and following their owners all around the house. They are very active, and play like kittens until well into their teens. There has been an unfortunate rumor circulating the cat world that the Somali is not content unless he can roam outdoors. This is NOT true. A Somali is perfectly happy to be inside, and even does well in an apartment providing he has lots of toys and attention.
