| | Somali: From The Dawn of Civilization To The Modern Times |
 | | The best thing I thought would be to compile all relevant news items, information and views published in the international press on the recent happenings of the post Siad Barre period in Somalia and present their gist in an objective and straight-forward manner, without taking any sides or offering any generalization of my own. | | | Aidid's critics and enemies as influenced by the US and the Western media have been saying many derogatory and damaging things against him because of their vested interests and politics. | | | Somali Hero -- Ahmed Gurey (1506 - 1543 A.D.) |

| | Where the longhaired gene came into the Abyssinian population is a a subject of speculation, but before the Somali breed began to be advanced in the late 1960s, longhaired kittens popped up in Abyssinian litters. | | | Somalis are also referred to as "longhaired Abyssinians", since Abyssinians are the "parent breed" of the Somali breed. | | | Many Somalis will try to groom their owners' hair, beards, and moustaches, particularly if they are wearing any kind of hair-care product such as hairspray or mousse. |

| | Somali (cat) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Somalis have a striking, bushy tail, which, combined with their ruddy coat, has earned them the nickname of "fox cats" in some circles. | | | Like Abyssinians, they have a dark rim around their eyes that makes them look like they are wearing kohl, and they have a small amount of white on their muzzles and chins/throats. | | | Their coats are ticked, which is a variation on tabby markings, and some Somalis may show full tabby stripes on portions of their bodies, but this is seen as a flaw, and tabby Somalis are only sold as neutered pets. |

| | This is why, in 1992, some French Aby and Somali breeders have discovered a new service, called "Abyssys", that they can consult through their phone line and Minitel set. | | | In 1988, when my wife and I started to be interested in cat breeding, we have realized that the breeders of Somalis (the breed we had been choosen by) were working in a great isolation, despite the help that some associations (originally devoted to Abyssinian cats) were attempting to bring to them. | | | First, all known ascendants of Somali cats, whatever their breed, have been added to E.R.o'S. Among them are Abyssinians mainly, but also several more unexpected breeds which have been outcrossed in order to introduce some particular genes (silver, chocolate, tortie, dilution, long-hair, etc.) in the Aby or Somali gene pool. |
