The Singapura is a small, foreign-type cat which originated in
Singapore. The breed combines genes indigenous to Southeast
Asia, the browns of Siamese and Burmese cats and the ticked or
agouti pattern. The body of the Singapura is moderately stocky
and muscular, feeling heavier than one looks. The Singapura has
strong slender legs tapering to oval feet. The tail is blunt-
tipped and slender. Each hair on the body of the Singapura has
at least two bands of sepia ticking separated by light bands
with a dark tip. The chest, stomach, inner legs and muzzle are a
light ivory, and the cat should have some barring on the inner
front legs and back knees. The eyes of the Singapura are
noticeably large and set very close together, and are typically
hazel, green or yellow. The head is gently rounded with a broad
muzzle that is fairly short and blunt. The ears are large and
deep, there must be evidence of dark pigment outlining the nose,
and lines from the inner corner of the eye to the whisker pad.
