🐈 Chats

LaPerm

Felis catus

✨ Fait Amusant

LaPerms were originally nicknamed 'Alpaca cats' because their curly coats resembled the fleece of alpacas — and many kittens are born completely bald before growing their curls.

A curly-coated breed distinguished by its soft, springy, rippled coat that forms loose ringlets and waves. Longhair and shorthair varieties. Affectionate, gentle, and playful. Some kittens are born bald and grow curls later.
