For you:
Never seen a cat with curly fur before? They really exist, and they're adorable.
There are four main breeds which have curly fur: Selkirk Rex, Devon Rex, Cornish Rex, and LaPerm.
These cats have curly fur due to a genetic variation called rex mutation. Rex mutations cause changes in the structure of groups of hairs which leads to the curly appearance of the fur. A curly coat is referred to as rexed coat.
Cats have an outer coat of stiff hair called guard hair that protects against the rain. They have a middle, softer layer called awn hair, and they also have a short and soft layer that is called down hair. When one of these layers is missing, a cat may have curly hair.
Curly-haired cats are less prone to shedding and may not shed at all. Because of the lack of one or two layers of fur, owners are less likely to suffer allergic reactions around these cats than around long-haired felines. (although not quite the same as being hypoallergenic, it still means reduced chance of allergies!)
I think they're adorable!!
@SleepyShyCat
Omigosh for real haha, so very adorable and furryyy. 🥰
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou
They remind me of tiny sheep lol 🐑
@SleepyShyCat Haha now that you mentioned, I see it too. XD
@SleepyShyCat
For some reason I can only imagine having to brush them so much to avoid matted fur! 😯
@SleepyShyCat / This is my 12 year old kitty named Zeppo he brings joy to my world. 🐾

@considerateTurtle007

@EmbStitcher33
Lmao this is funny 😆 cats can be so dramatic sometimes, and can equally sleep in some strange positions
@SleepyShyCat Hope you don't mind - I wanted to drop off a Merry Christmas for you :)
Merry Christmas ShyCat!

I'm mostly feeling sleepy 😴
@SleepyShyCat
Snuggle in 😊 I hope you were able to get some rest
Went outside a few weeks ago and thought someone had an auto alarm that sounded like a cat. It was no alarm, it was this little one! There is more to this story but the short version is that the kitten has a warm home with me. 🐾😊
@considerateTurtle007
So cute!! And I'm very happy to hear that they have a loving home to go to - how are they? 😸
@YourCaringConfidant
This is so sweet!!! Awww, I love the cats! 🥺 thank you for the kind message, you're amazing too ❤️❤️
Iberian Lynx - the world's most endangered cat
There are four species of lynx: the Bobcat, Canadian Lynx, Eurasian Lynx and Iberian Lynx. Although the bobcat, Canadian and Eurasian Lynx are all listed as least concern, the Iberian lynx is the world's most endangered feline species - there are fewer Iberian lynx’s in the wild than there are Snow Leopards or Sumatran Tigers (only the Amur Leopard, a subspecies of leopard, has fewer individuals left in the wild).
@SleepyShyCat
