Who it suits
People who like an easy, playful cat and want a coat nobody else on the street has.
Care
Do not over-brush: handling breaks the crimp. A gentle stroke-through now and then is enough.
History of the breed
In 1966 a single wire-coated kitten appeared in a farm litter in Verona, New York. A breeder bought him for fifty dollars, and the whole breed descends from that one cat. It remains one of the rarest breeds anywhere.
