About the American Curl
The American Curl is a breed distinguished by its unique backward-curling ears, the result of a spontaneous genetic mutation. They are known for their affectionate, people-oriented personality and retain a playful, kittenish demeanor throughout their lives. Despite their elegant and somewhat exotic appearance, they are remarkably sturdy, healthy cats. The breed comes in both longhair and shorthair varieties, both celebrated for their silky coats and gentle dispositions.
