📖 About the Singapura
The Singapura is the smallest cat breed, typically 1.8-3.5 kg fully grown. According to the origin story, they descend from "drain cats" — small, brown-ticked street cats living in Singapore's storm drains, discovered in the 1970s. However, import records later showed the foundation cats were brought to Singapore FROM the US — suggesting they may have been Abyssinian/Burmese crosses. The controversy remains unresolved. Regardless, the Singapura's tiny size, huge eyes, and sepia agouti coat are unique. PK-Def DNA test essential. They are intensely attached — velcro cats that want to be ON you at all times.
