"What did you do to their ears? Are their ears always like that? Did you use
a curling iron?" Yes, their ears ARE always like that and no, a curling iron was NOT used to
achieve those extraordinary ears! The curled ear is a natural genetic mutation
and first time admirers are always surprised by the American Curl's unique ears
and impressed by their overall striking beauty. Curls quickly become a favorite
with all who come to know them.
The American Curl's ears, which are firm to the touch and curl back in a
graceful arc away from their face toward the center back of their head, are a
genetic mutation given to us by none other than Mother Nature. Discovered in
California as a stray cat in 1981, the American Curl is now recognized as one of
the United States' native American cat breeds.
The Curl's temperament is one of curiosity and companionship. Being very
people-oriented, they like to assist in all household projects and delight in
"bumping heads" with their owners or new human acquaintances. Curls are even
tempered and intelligent, yet they retain their kitten-type behavior throughout
their adult life. Not overly talkative, the Curls will tell you when they need
something or desire attention. American Curls easily adapt to almost any home
situation and adjust to other animals remarkably well. Simply stated, they are
extremely affectionate and absolutely ear-resistible!
