 What
do these unique felines look like? The fur is the characteristic
which sets the LaPerm apart. Ringlet-type curls cover the entire
cat. The tightest curls occur on the underside and base of the ears,
with a curly, plumed tail. The curl ranges from tight ringlets to
long, corkscrew curls. It is soft in texture, but each cat's coat is
distinctly unique. Some LaPerm kittens are born hairless, but most
have short, wavy hair at birth. Often, the tops of their heads will
be bald during the first four months or so. They can also be born
with wavy hair and then lose it. For the first six months, it's
pretty much a guessing game.
The LaPerm cat breed is "low
maintenance", requiring minimum grooming because the coat does not
easily mat. LaPerms' curls hold the hair, much like that of the
Poodle, so shedding is minimal. Bath and towel drying is all that is
required to maintain the curl. Blow drying tends to make the hair
frizz. After the coat is totally dry, spritzing with a fine mist of
plain water works well to achieve even more curl.
The coat
on both the short and long-haired varieties may vary in length and
fullness depending upon the season and the maturity of the cat. Both
males and females have a full ruff on the neck at maturity. The face
and head of the LaPerm are triangular in shape with wide-set ears
and large, expressive eyes. They even boast a splendid set of curly
whiskers. Their legs are elongated in proportion to their
small-to-medium-sized bodies. Males tend to weigh about 7-12 pounds
while females grow to be 5 to 6 pounds. Although the look of each
kitten varies, one thing always remains the same: the great
personality of this new breed. Even the occasional straight-haired
kitten is blessed with it, which makes finding good homes for them
very easy.
LaPerm cats are very gentle and affectionate.
They seek human contact and purr as soon as they become aware of
your presence. These cats are face lovers; they will reach for your
face with their paws and rub their faces against your head, neck and
face. LaPerm cats love being kissed and will kiss back. They beg to
be held, drooped over a shoulder or cradled in your arms while
resting on their backs.
LaPerm cats are inquisitive in
nature, always wanting to know what is going on around them. Kittens
have been known to stop nursing and seek out the source of a human
voice even before their eyes are open. They are generally
quiet-voiced but may be vocal when wanting attention. Being a
working cat on the farm, they are excellent hunters, as well as
gentle companions. They adapt well to apartment living because of
their strong bonding instincts. |
