The Singapura


Book Description

After encountering a pair of Singapura Cats at my partner's home in 2004 I thought they were beautiful and very active cats. Fascination then took over. They look like miniature cougars or mountain lions. They had also only been around for about 10 years in UK but much longer in the States. It is strange then that to the best of my knowledge no book existed about them giving any in depth information on these delightful cats. So here it is my attempt to present this cat to the masses.
