American Curl Cat Behavior/Personality/feeding
The American Curl is a breed of cat that wraps itself around your
heart. If they could curl up inside you and stay there they would.
Such a loving breed of cat. They come from domestic street cats
and the breed was discovered in 1981 in California. They have come
a long way and have been modified from large to semi foreign type.
They come in all colors. They get their name because of their ears.
They curl back toward the base of the skull. The curl can vary from
first degree to 3rd degree which is the preferred. They are a very
elegant breed and are very curious and their ears make them look
even more impish.
Appearance:
The ideal American Curl is a medium sized, alert cat with an elegant
appearance and a sweet, open expression complimented by their remarkable
ears. At birth, Curl kittens look like any other kitten, but between
one and seven days the ears get firmer and start to plump up and
curve back. American Curls come in both longhair and shorthair with
both varieties having soft, silky, lustrous, flat-lying coats.
Personality:
American Curls are very people-oriented, faithful, and affectionate
cats. They love companionship and adjust remarkably fast to other
pet animals, children, and new situations. Curls are even-tempered
and intelligent. They are known for their affinity with children.
