LaPerm

The LaPerm originated from a barn cat named Speedy. This is a curly-coated breed unrelated to the Rex breeds. Kittens from LaPerm litters can be born with straight hair, curly hair, or no hair. The breed is low maintenence, requiring minimal grooming, because its curly coat does not mat easily. It requires only a bath and towel drying, as blow drying can make the coat frizzy. The LaPerm is currently accepted by TICA.
