Your guide to the history, characteristics and personality of the American Curl Cat

History of the American Curl Cat
What makes an American Curl? The American Curl cat gets its name unmistakably from its backward-tipped ears. The first known American Curl cat was discovered on the doorstep of a Lakewood, California home. "Shulamith" captivated her owners with her unusual ears: upon further investigation it was found that the unusual ear shape of this cat results from an actual gene, not an abnormality.

Appearance of the American Curl Cat
The American Curl cat can grow to medium length and its head is in the shape of a modified wedge, giving it an elegant and gentle appearance.

Personality of the American Curl Cat
Its temperament and personality remains extremely curious and friendly - this cat actually remains quite kitten-like throughout its adult life and can be very affectionate, even-tempered and quick to make new acquaintances.
