Temperament
American Curls are friendly and curious, often following their owners around the house. They are gentle and playful, and they tend to retain a kitten-like personality well into adulthood. This breed gets along well with children, other cats, and even dogs.
Grooming and Care
Both the short- and long-haired varieties are relatively easy to groom. A weekly brushing is sufficient to keep their coat healthy. Their unique ears should be checked regularly but not handled excessively to avoid damage.
History and Origin
The American Curl originated in California in the early 1980s, when a stray cat with curled ears gave birth to kittens with the same trait. The breed has since been carefully developed and is now recognized by major cat registries.
