Singapura

About the Singapura

The Singapura, or Kucinta in Singapore, is noted for its large eyes and ears, ticked coat, and blunt tail. The majority of breed associations consider the Singapura to be the lightest and shortest pedigreed breed of cat. Reportedly established from three "drain cats" imported from Singapore in the 1970s, it was later revealed that the cats were originally sent to Singapore from the United States before being exported back to the US. Investigations by the Cat Fanciers' Association (CFA) concluded that no wrongdoing had occurred and the Singapura kept its status as a natural breed.
