The Singapura’s color and size easily distinguish it from other breeds. The smallest of the purebreds, females weigh five to six pounds and males six to eight pounds when fully grown. Like the Abyssinian, the Singapura has a ticked tabby coat, but brown on ivory rather than the Aby’s reddish coloration.
Singapuras are extroverted and playful. They love being in high places and even hitching a ride on your shoulder. They get along well with other cats, and their soft, gentle voice charms all-comers. The breed is accepted for championship status in the Cat Fanciers Association and the International Cat Association.

and doesn’t stop. She starts meowing and then cuts it off xD
Photo is of a Sphynx, not a Singapura
save a life….adopt a shelter cat before you get a singapura. (and Karen is right with her comment above!)
Yes, you’re right: The cat pictured is a Sphynx, not a Singapura. Alas, the photo that goes with the tip is hard-coded–so all tips that fall in the category “breed profile” have the same photo of the Sphynx whether the breed profiled is a Sphynx, a Selkirk Rex, a Singapura or a Somali.
Your Singapura cat article has a photo of cat that is NOT a Singapura.
Here is a link to album with my 2 Singapura cats:

MSingapuras love to climb up on counters, couches, door. Speaking of doors, my Singapura Minnie never met a door she didn’t want to open and go through, especially cabinets. And we should have called her Velcro, since she’s so affectionate.
This picture is of s Sphinx not a Singapura
If the photo is hard-coded, you need to talk to your webmaster to see about getting that changed. It really is misleading to show a Sphynx photo with every breed profile. Not fair to breeds, other than Sphynx.
P.S. Singapura Minnie’s sister is Hurricane Hillary, a hilarious black and white rescue cat with one eye that works. HH didn’t want to be left out of this discussion
And I agree with Karen about talking with webmaster. (I run my 2 websites, and am self-taught, so I’m sure yours could handle the fix.) Otherwise, some day some student’s going to use the Sphynx photo in a class presentation all about Singapura, or Selkirk Rex, or Somali cats, spreading wrong info. Best of luck.
Why don’t you publish a photo of the breed you discuss?
