If you cannot provide enough space, time, and attention, or do not have enough experience to care for a Somali cat, then owning a Somali cat may not be right for you.

Somali cats are highly active and need plenty of activity and play to maintain their physical and mental health. If you cannot provide them with enough space and time to meet their needs, they may become frustrated or unhappy.
Somali cats are very intelligent and enjoy puzzle games and brain teasers. A lack of stimulation and intellectual games can lead to boredom and destructive behavior.
