I've never known a Somali, but they're really long haired Abys; so if they have the Aby temperament they'd be marvellous cats! My Aby was smarter than some people I know......

I fell in love with them at the Scottish Cat Champ show many years ago. Spoke to a couple of breeders who said they are basically Abysinnian in nature but not quite so eager to be outside all the time.

Really thought about getting one but ended up looking after 3 semi ferals instead. Never had the chance since and if I'm honest will probably stick to moggies. Always wanted to go to CPL or RSPCA and offer a home to the one noone else wants. So far all my cats have kind off found me so never been able to do that.

Good luck whatever you decide.
