LaPerm
LaPerm
The LaPerm breed is a naturally occurring mutation producing curly coats in both long- and shorthaired cats. They are medium sized, of moderate type. All parts of body are in harmony with the size of cat. This breed matures in two to three years.
LaPerm Personality
LaPerms are gentle, people-oriented cats that are affectionate without being overly demanding or clingy. They adore human companionship and adapt well to indoor or apartment living as long as they get the requisite amount of playing and pampering. Like most cats, LaPerms develop the closest bond with their human friends when they get regular human interaction and affection. LaPerms are agile and active. Like their barn cat ancestors, they enjoy a good game of chase, and love pouncing on the catnip mouse.
