I've never heard of it! > Joyce I had never, either, Joyce; and just researched it in "Cat Fanciers" website. Its "general appearance" standards appear around 2004, LaPerm is a *mutant* breed (dominant gene for the curly fur) developed by some woman breeder, *recognized by T.I.C.A. cat association*. I don't know if CFA (the oldest, pickiest org.) recognizes this breed for shows. Most non-contestant folks don't realize that some cat breeds can only be "shown" for competition in designated, recognizant cat assocations, as they all have different standards. T.I.C.A. is the one I used to show Oliver in (exclusively) and is - AFAIK - the assn. with most lax standards. CFA is the strictest assn. Of course, it's been several years since I've had anything to do with shows and things may have changed. But AFAIK, if you have a cat who has achieved GC (grand champ) of his breed in CFA shows, you have creme-de-la-creme of breed standards cat. There were no pics of LaPerm breed but I didn't go to T.I.C.A. website.
jXwXeXrXmXoXnXt@sonic.net - 08 Mar 2006 23:14 GMT > Its "general appearance" standards appear around 2004, LaPerm is a > *mutant* breed (dominant gene for the curly fur) Well, that explains why they don't "breed true" (as it said in the description on the site). They can still be carrying a rececessive non-curly gene that might show up in offspring if both parents are carrying it.
I'm not sure how I feel about the munchkins. They look like regular cats, except that they have very short legs. For some reason, that bothers me - I keep thinking that cats weren't meant to have such short legs and I feel sorry for them. But then, I read on the site where someone compared them to Corgi dogs. And I don't feel sorry for Corgis. So I'm not sure what that's about. It's OK to breed dogs into different sizes and shapes, but not cats? Anyway, there's something about that that disturbs me, no matter how irrational that feeling might be.
I don't feel that way about the La Perms, though - it's a little strange, maybe, I'm just not used to curly-haired cats. I don't feel sorry for them in any case.

In spite of their show "snottiness" (you'd have to attend and compare several different assn. shows to know what I mean) CFA and others deepdown are devoted to cat's welfare/future even if the cats they're concerned with are all pedigreed lines. The munchkins, BYW, *are* cute to see, but they can NOT do catlike things we're used to seeing our cats do, like high-jumping, balance tricks, etc.

I suspect there are other reasons for the pickiness, but if cruelty is one of the things they object to, then that's great.
> The munchkins, BYW, *are* cute to see, but they can NOT > do catlike things we're used to seeing our cats do, like > high-jumping, balance tricks, etc. Exactly! What if you had one, and it got out and then disappeared and you couldn't find it? How could such a cat survive?
I'm not a big fan of cat breeding, but if one is breeding a kind of cat that's healthy and can survive, then I don't object to it.

Agreed. Ever heard of "Twisty Cats"? I think that's much more like twisted breeders.

Something like La Perm is harmless - curly hair doesn't hurt the cat. I hate all breeding but those who breed things like Munchklins and Twisty Cats (remember those?) are just sick. -L.

Apparently I'm Siamese :) That would explain why Persia talks to me so much. Too bad I only understand half of what she's trying to tell me.
