As you might guess from the name, this breed originated in Singapore in Asia, where this cat is regarded as the “drain cat,” an unwanted street cat that seeks shelter in drains and other undesirable locations.
They are finding themselves more welcome in the United States and Europe, where their short, silky beige fur and quietness make them appealing pets. They love a quiet indoor life and make few demands on their owners. They don’t demand much food either, for Singapuras are the smallest of domestic cat breeds.
