Before choosing

Full description

The Singapura is small in stature but active, playful and highly involved in household life. It often enjoys climbing, observing people from raised places and joining daily activities. Its sociable nature benefits from regular interaction, environmental enrichment and games that encourage movement and problem-solving. The short coat is easy to maintain, but its small size should never be mistaken for fragility or a lack of exercise needs.
