The LaPerm
The LaPerm Cat is a breed of domestic cat known for its curly coat and friendly, affectionate personality. It is a breed originating from the United States. The breed began in 1982 when a hairless kitten was born on a farm in Oregon. This kitten, named Curly, eventually developed a curly coat. Owner Linda Koehl noticed that Curly's puppies also had curly coats, leading to the deliberate creation of the breed. The breed was officially recognized by several cat associations, including the International Cat Association (TICA) and the Cat Fanciers' Association (CFA), in the 1990s. Despite their curly coat, LaPerms don't require much brushing. Generally a healthy breed with no specific known genetic problems.
