soulierins

Soulierins, also known as Soulierin, are a breed of domestic cat originating from the United States. They are a relatively new breed, having been developed in the late 20th century through selective breeding. The name "Soulierin" is a portmanteau of "soul" and "souliere," a type of shoe, reflecting the breed's distinctive appearance.

Soulierins are known for their unique coat pattern, which resembles a pair of souliers, or shoes, on the back of their head. This pattern is typically black or dark brown, with a lighter undercoat. Their body is medium-sized, with a muscular build and a short, dense coat. They have large, round eyes and a distinctive, slightly upturned muzzle.

Soulierins are generally friendly and adaptable cats. They are known for their playful and curious nature, and they get along well with both people and other pets. They are also relatively low-maintenance, with a short coat that requires minimal grooming. However, they do require regular exercise and mental stimulation to prevent boredom.

Soulierins are not recognized by the major cat registries, such as the Cat Fanciers' Association (CFA) or the International Cat Association (TICA). However, they are recognized by the International Soulierin Association (ISA), which was founded in 2001. The ISA promotes the breeding and exhibition of Soulierins, and it offers a variety of resources for breeders and enthusiasts.
