The American Curl is known best for its small shaped head and rounded out hears. But, did you know that the Curl is actually born with straight ears? The ears don’t take on their curvy shape until the cat is about three to five days old. Even at this point the ears stay in a tight rounded shape and do not completely curl out and take permanent shape until 16 weeks. In addition, the degree of the curl in the ear can vary. Breeders are very particular when it comes to the degree of the curl in the ear and the overall shape of the ear. In fact, the American Curl’s ear position and shape can affect whether the cat will be good enough to show or passed along to become a family pet. These cats are extremely loyal and affectionate. They are great with pets and children. For more information, talk with your veterinarian Leesburg, VA.
