Good to know
- Every American Curl descends from a stray found in California in 1981.
- Kittens are born with straight ears that begin to curl within a few days.
- The ear cartilage is firm; the curl is a shape, not a floppiness.
Who it suits
People who want a gentle, people-following cat and are happy to be careful with its ears.
Care
Handle the ears gently and clean them only when needed. Weekly brushing; longhaired ones twice a week.
History of the breed
A long-haired stray with strangely folded-back ears turned up at a house in Lakewood, California in 1981. She was named Shulamith, and every American Curl alive descends from her. The breed was recognised within a decade, unusually fast for a new cat.
