LaPerm

The LaPerm is a cat breed. The fur of a LaPerm is curly (thus the name "perm"), with the tightest curls around the neck and the base of the ears. LaPerms come in a variety of colors and designs. LaPerms are known for their loving personalities. The LaPerm is a rex breed that originated in the United States and is now found in many nations throughout the world. The breed is genetically distinct and unrelated to any other rex cat variety, with a dominant gene responsible for their curly coats. They have a sleek and athletic build, and their personalities are loving, lively, and extroverted. They are said to be hypoallergenic cats, causing a substantially lower amount of allergic reaction in people than regular cats.

Their coat is the most noticeable trait, with gentle waves, curls, and ringlets that resemble a shaggy perm. The LaPerm is a cat of moderation, with no extremes, and remains loyal to its original kind. It does, however, have a distinctive coat. The breed standard specifies a muscular foreign-type physique that is medium in size and has longish legs and a neck. The head is shaped like a modified wedge, with rounded curves and a snout that is somewhat wider than the wedge. The straight nose leads to a gap between the eyes and a flattish forehead in profile. LaPerms have wide noses, flaring ears, and medium-sized almond-shaped eyes.
