The LaPerm is a
feline breed that is pretty much named for its permed or extremely wavy coat.
In fact, the coat has excessive waves and ripples giving it the appearance that
it has actually had its coat rolled with curlers or permed. The LaPerm
originated by accident in the 1980s on a farm in Oregon when a cat gave birth
to a litter of six kittens. Due to a mutated gene, one of the kittens was born
completely bald. It was thought the cat would remain bald, but within a few
weeks time, a curly, soft coat started to grow in. It was discovered that the
mutated LaPerm gene is dominant and carried in both females and males. The
LaPerm comes in almost every color or color pattern. The cat has a loving
personality and is gently, friendly as well as active. Learn more here or call your vet clinic Salem, VA.
