American longhair Curl breed began relatively recently. It gives every reason to consider the breed young. In 1981, in Lakewood, California, a married couple found a single cat that they took in. The cat\u2019s appearance attracted their attention \u2013 its ears were unusually crooked, and its hair was also unusually curled. A little later, the cat gave birth to kittens with the same features. Breeding work on the offspring of the cat began with the goal of breeding a new breed. And by 1983, the newly created breed was shown at the California Cat Show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The felinologists, who worked on the breed\u2019s formation, gave it such a name precisely because of its curved ears. Research on the American Curl breed has shown that this peculiarity is a natural mutation of the gene responsible for the ears. There are reported sporadic cases where American Curl kittens are born with straight ears.
