Kitten who presented first signs of the original mutation which was the basis for this breed among domestic cats came from “the barn”. In 1982,  in a farm in Oregon, situated near an old fishing and hunting in Wishram Indians, six kittens were born  from a barn cat. One kitten was born completely bald-totally different from her mother and brothers. Although it had a bit of fur, the cat had huge ears and a pattern for his stature “blueprint” of the skin, which copy a classic tabby pattern. By the age of eight weeks the kitten began to grow a very soft and curly hair. Between 3 and 4 months, kitten, named Curly, has grown a full  created coat .Not being very experienced  about his  cats, the owner and does not beat too much his  head with the “mutant”.

Character and behavior

LaPerm cats are gentile and affectionate, but very active. Unlike  of many active breeds, LaPerm is quite satisfied with his sedentary cat. LaPerm will always prefer to settle near the master if it does not feel like playing. These cats look human company and start spinning as soon as I feel their presence. By their nature, are intrusive and cats will always know what is happening around them. They like to touch the front master with his paws and rub the head of the master, neck or face. Very cute cats LaPerm nature captivates all those who meet. LaPerm starts spinning as soon as he sees his master and loves to sit in your lap and be caressed.
