LE PERM CAT

LaPerm is a recognized breed of cat. A LaPerm's fur is curly (hence the name "perm"), with the tightest curls being on the belly, throat and base of the ears. LaPerms come in many colors and patterns. LaPerms generally have a very affectionate personality.

The LaPerm is a rex breed which originated in the USA and is now present in many other countries worldwide. The breed is genetically unique and not related to any other rex cat varieties, having a dominant gene causing their curly coats. They have an elegant and athletic build and are affectionate, active and outgoing in character. 

LaPerms make wonderful lap-warmers. Make no mistake, though, they are very bright and playful as well. LaPerms also come in every color and coat type - except they are curly and require no grooming. These curly-coated, incredibly affectionate cats have several pluses. Low shedding is a big plus, so is their lack of need for formal grooming. Occasional brushing is all that is needed. The curls are permanent and even the whiskers and eyebrows are kinky. This means when your friends come over you will not have to defuzz them as they leave. A big help with allergy sufferers and particular housekeepers.
