Arctic Curl

The Arctic Curl cat breed is known for its distinctive curled ears, which are said to resemble the horns of a ram. They are a relatively new breed, having only been developed in the 1980s, but have quickly become popular for their friendly and playful personalities.

Arctic Curls are medium-sized cats with a muscular build and a thick, plush coat that can come in a variety of colors and patterns. They are known for being very affectionate and playful, and they make great companions for families with children.

The Arctic Curl was first developed in the United States in the 1980s by a breeder named Jean Sugden. Sugden was working with a litter of kittens when she noticed that one of them had curled ears. She decided to breed the kitten with its mother, and the resulting litter produced several kittens with curled ears.

Sugden continued to breed the Arctic Curl, and the breed was eventually recognized by the Cat Fanciers' Association (CFA) in 1993. The Arctic Curl is now a popular breed around the world, and it is known for its unique appearance and friendly personality.
