About The American Curl A native breed of the United States, the American Curl is distinguished by its unusual, backward-swept curling ears. This is the result of a natural mutation. It is a medium-sized cat bred in both shorthair and longhair varieties in a wide range of colors and patterns.
American Curls are faithful companions who remain kittens at heart. They love head-butts, giving kisses, and constantly checking up on "their" humans. They are boistrous but even-tempered, taking every situation as it comes with curiosity and good humor. Curls have tiny, trilling voices they use only rarely, preferring body language to too much talking.
