Ruddy, also known as rubby, is the most common coat color in the Somali breed. This warm brown coat, combined with the "ticked" fur effect—where each hair has multiple colors—gives the cat a truly unique and dynamic appearance. The coat seems to shift with the light and closely resembles that of a fox.
