Don’t expect a sleepy lap cat: Somalis love action.
They’re curious, high-energy, and thrive on interactive play and physical stimulation. They enjoy climbing branches, exploring cat trees and perching on a high shelf or lounging on elevated platforms.
A cat run or extensive outdoor space (safely enclosed) is ideal for satisfying their adventurous nature.
Are Somali Cats Aggressive?
While this is a myth, Somalis do need outlets for their energy. In loud households or family homes with many visitors, they may get overstimulated. A calm environment with fun activities and quality time helps them thrive.
They’re wonderful with other cats, other pets and experienced owners who understand their zest for life.
