The most remarkable feature of the American Curl is its ears, the tips of which turns back. The breed is descended from a stray cat in which the curled ears were a spontaneous mutation, which proved to be caused by dominant gene. Kittens are borned with normal ears, but by the time they are three weeks old the curled ears will have developed if they are destined to have them. The coat comes in all colours and patterns and may be long or short, although the shorthaired is less common. The American Curl is friendly and loves to be around humans, being happy as a lap cat and enjoying the company of children.
