The Somali cat is very similar in genetics to the Abyssinian. These cats inherited two copies of a recessive gene for long hair, so they have a luscious coat that is very much unlike their Abyssinian cousin. Because this beautiful cat is so rare, kittens cost between $1,000 and $1,500. Once again, always make sure you are buying from a reputable breeder.
