They follow their humans around and assist in every activity, from cooking to reading the paper ( sitting on the selected page ), from vacuuming ( attacking the roaring dragon with leaps and growls ) to watching TV ( chirping and batting at birds flying across the screen ).

Athletic and inquisitive, they leap and climb like champions and delight in a tall scratching post or a toy mouse tossed into the air.

Somalis and Abyssinians are incurable flirts and easily become friends and playmates with other cats or with dogs, cuddling, inventing games, and grooming each other.

Somalis sowie ihre kurzhaarigen Verwandte, die Abessinier, lieben Gesellschaft und Aufmerksamkeit und begleiten ihre Menschen bei den verschiedensten Tätigkeiten, sei es Kochen, Zeitunglesen ( direkt auf dem Blatt sitzend ), Staubsaugen ( mit Knurren und Sprüngen gegen den grollenden Drachen ) oder Fernsehen ( mit Schnattern und Pfotenhiebe, wenn Tiere oder Vögel in Bildschirm erscheinen ).

Sie sind sportlich und neugierig, klettern und springen wie Weltmeister und sind begeistert von einem hohen Kratzbaum oder von der Jagd nach einer fliegenden Stoffmaus.

Somalis und Abessinier sind unverbesserlich kokett und freunden sich leicht mit anderen Katzen oder Hunden an.

A cat not allowed to go outdoors must be given the possibility to sharpen its claws without being punished.

It does not need a large and expensive scratching post: leftover carpet pieces or a scratching board are sufficient.

Cat grass is indispensable to cats kept indoors who need it to retch out hair swallowed.

zu können ;

es muss kein grosser teurer Kratzbaum sein, an der Wand befestigte Teppichresten oder ein Kratzbrett tun es auch.

Auch Katzengras ist für die Wohnungskatze unentbehrlich, sie braucht es, um verschlucktes Haar auswürgen zu können.
