La
Perm Cat
Weight:
7-9 lbs. Color
- The LaPerm comes in all colors and patterns. Coat
Length - The LaPerm comes in both Shorthair and Longhair coat length. The
Longhair coat will have a moderately soft, springy coat texture standing away
from the body in ringlet type curls or waves over most of the cat. The longest
curls are on the underside of the neck and at the base of the ears. Both males
and females can have a full neck ruff. The curlier the better. There are very
few guard hairs, however the thicker and heavier the coat the better. Shorthaired
LaPerms do not have the ruff or a plumed tail. Eyes
- Any eye color is acceptable. Eye color has no relation to coat color. Appearance
- The LaPerm is medium sized, curly coated with semi-foreign type. All parts
of the body are in harmony with the size of the cat. There is evidence of surprising
weight for size. The cat is alert and seems to be walking tall on his feet. Personality
- The LaPerm’s coat does not mat eassily and it is considered a low maintenance
breed. Breed Fact -
The original LaPerm was a barn cat named Speedy.
