  Singapura (cat) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Singapura is a recognized breed of cat.
The original home of the Singapura is the island of Singapore, with the breed taking its name from the local Malay name for the island — meaning ‘Lion City.
The breed is the result of Mother Nature’s combination of genes indigenous to Southeast Asia — both the brown as in Siamese and Burmese and the agouti or ticked pattern.

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.

Singapuras lived in small colonies throughout the city, and were periodically culled by the authorities who considered them to be vermin.
Because of the fact that the breed was considered as vermin in its native country, many of the cats lived in the sewers and gutters of the city, earning themselves the nickname of 'Drainpipe Cats'.
The Singapura descended from a cat that is native to Singapore and is also referred to as the drain cat in Singapore.

The breed is still quite rare, however; in 2000 only 144 Singapuras were registered in CFA, up from 139 in 1999 and 143 in 1998, according to CFA’s registration totals, which gives the breed a ranking of 30th out of the 40 breeds CFA recognizes.
Despite its size, the Singapura is a stocky, strong, muscular little cat with a short, strong neck and strong, muscular legs.
Singapuras tend to bond with one or several family members, but they love most people; they don’t seem to understand the word “stranger.” Instead of hiding under the bed, they want to be there with you to welcome anyone who comes to the door.

The Singapura is a small-to-medium-sized, muscular cat with a sparkling appearance and strikingly large eyes.

Singapuras are very active cats with a genuine need for their people.
Whatever questions there might be about their origin, Singapuras are clearly a worthwhile addition to the world of pedigreed cats.

 Singapura CAT BREEDERS
Proponents pointed out that the Singapura ticked pattern resembling the Abyssinian’s does not necessarily prove anything more than a common ancestry, since the Abyssinian is thought to have originated on the Malay Peninsula, swimming distance (if you’re a really strong swimmer) from the island of Singapore.
Some Singapura breeders not affiliated with the Meadows’ United Singapura Society also were concerned about the breed’s reportedly small litter sizes, which they believed was an indication of inbreeding resulting from the four-cat foundation and the unwillingness of the Meadows to allow other Singapore cats to be imported to widen the gene pool.
Singapuras, happily unaware of the controversy surrounding them, go right on being what they are: pesky people pleasers.

The only thing is that she is a scaredy cat when it comes to everything in the world.
She amuzes herself, either with pens or pennies or pieces of paper or the cat track -- she actually moves it under the carpet and then sits in front of it with just her paws under the carpet and hits the roller ball back and forth.
Anyway, she is a very interactive kitty and the Singapura sounds similar, very endearing.
