Temperament
LaPerms are affectionate and inquisitive companions. They love to cuddle and follow their humans around but are also content to explore independently. These cats are adaptable, friendly with children and pets, and often enjoy being held or resting on your lap.
Grooming and Care
While their curly coat looks high-maintenance, it typically doesn’t mat easily. Weekly combing is usually enough to keep it tangle-free. LaPerms are active and playful but not overly demanding, making them easy companions in both quiet and busy households.
History and Origin
The LaPerm originated in Oregon in the 1980s from a spontaneous genetic mutation. A kitten born hairless grew into a curly-coated cat, and the trait was preserved and developed into the breed known today. Since then, LaPerms have gained international recognition for their distinct look and charming personality.
