	Somali cat
		The Somali is a long-haired breed of cat.
		Somalis have a very striking bushy tail, which combined with their ruddy coat has earned them the nickname of 'fox cats' in some circles.
		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.

		Robin's name appears on a generous sprinkling of three generation pedigrees and when the history of the modern Somali is traced back to the fourth, fifth and sixth generations his name becomes surprisingly dominant, particularly when researching the pedigrees of Somalis born in the United States.

	ELECTRONIC REGISTER OF SOMALIS
		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.
		This computation is performed over the whole common ascent of both cats, and thus may concern several thousands of cats, in which case the time needed for the server may exceed the "time out" limit, and no result is sent back.
