American Curl Cat
About American Curl Cat
American Curl cats were first discovered in 1981. They are a cat breed produced by a natural genetic mutation in wildland cats. The American Curl differs from other cat breeds because its ears curve back almost 180 degrees. This curved ear shape occurs due to a genetic mutation. In addition, this cat breed is rare, as it is not widely bred. Despite this, these cats have intelligent personalities and can form strong bonds with their owners.
