Singapura vs Toybob

Verdict

Both are tiny, short-coated, people-loving cats that suit a small home, so the thing that decides it is coat and availability. The Singapura has one colour only, a ticked sepia, scores 5 for playfulness and sheds very little. The Toybob comes in any colour or pattern, in short and long varieties, with a short kinked tail, and it is even more attached to its people. Choose the Singapura for a lively cat with a distinct coat. Choose the Toybob if you will wait for a very rare kitten.
