While one might conclude that the curved ears are flawed, this is actually a mutation - the departure from normal natural characteristics. The ear is an aesthetic characteristic of this type, consisting of cartilage that is tight to the tip of the ear. It also does not affect the hearing of cats.

HISTORY AND BACKGROUND

This cat has an easy time climbing the ladder to success. Within ten years of its existence, Curl has managed to win the hearts of American cat lovers and judges.


This type of birthday fell in June 1981, when two unknown kittens breed or origin come to the doorstep of Grace Ruga from Lakewood, California. Grace's concern was greatly feared by the curious cat cowering in the ear and deciding to encourage their stay. The two kittens will arrive to eat every day and then leave at night.

Based on their fur marks, Grace baptized the kittens of Panda and Shulamith, the latter being a biblical name which he understood to mean "black and funny." The kittens were inseparable, until suddenly a strong wind blew the door on the Panda. Panda suffered a fatal head injury, but Shulamith moved to Ruga's home for good, gladly completing and transferring his devotion to his new human family.

Shulamith's kittens will then produce a kitten with the same ear characteristics, giving one of the first women, Mercedes, to Grace's sister, Esther Brimlow of Orange, California. Mercedes soon gave birth to her own litter, and she and her children returned to the attention of Nancy Kiester, an older butcher and meat-eater. Kiester was very enthusiastic about Curls, that he was trying to build his kind, which began when the Mercedes kittens gave birth to a woman and a man, each named Princess Leah and Guru Luke.


Later, Nancy contacted Grace and formed a partnership, showing off Shulamith and the kittens at a California cat show in 1983. Responses from the cat community were fully received by this charming cat family. Nancy and Grace collaborate with breeders and judges, Jean Grimm, who manages to grow a Scottish scarf (or Folds), and that ensures that this is a completely different kind. With his help, names and standards were created, and so was the birth of the American Curl.

While breeding outcrosses will be allowed to continue through 2010, this aggregate breeder is likely to produce consistent quality curls before cut-off date.
