Good to know

  • Began with a single rescued kitten found in California in 1998.
  • The curled tail is carried, not fixed — it straightens when the cat moves.
  • Still an experimental breed with very few catteries worldwide.

Who it suits

Owners who want something genuinely unusual and are prepared to wait on a breeder's list.

Care

Ordinary grooming for the coat length. Never handle the cat by the tail, curled or not.

History of the breed

In 1998 a kitten with a curled tail was rescued from a street in Fremont, California and named Solomon. His descendants make up the whole breed, which is still being developed and is not yet accepted for championship status.
