American Shorthair Cat

Cats are pets of the whole family. Each person tries to choose the breed of a cat, the character of which is closest to him. For his kind disposition and unpretentiousness, the American woolly cat is very popular with amateurs.

The first American hairless cat appeared due to natural genetic changes from the breed of cats called American Shorthair. From the ancestors of the wire-haired, or as they are also called "wire", cats differ in the appearance of their wool. To the touch they are soft, but in appearance, it seems that their coat is covered not with ordinary hair, but with rigid wire. This effect is achieved due to the curl (curling) of the hairs and their bonding with each other.

Each individual of the American wire haired has an individual degree of wire effect. Rigid fur can cover the whole body of a cat, and can show up in places. Mainly on the ridge, head, tail and hips. Even the mustache of the American woolly cat can be slightly bent. The color can be any, the color of the eyes most often corresponds to the color.

Representatives of the American coarse-wool breed of cats are playful, affectionate, calm, unpretentious in nutrition. Do not show special excitement if the owner is often absent from home. Easily endure living in an apartment, including alone. Quickly adapt to new circumstances, perfectly amenable to training , do not need frequent and long walks in the fresh air.

American Wirehaired - pet care

Special attention to the cat does not require. The only peculiarity in the care of the American wire-haired is that it should not be combed. After water procedures, the wool should dry up on its own, without any outside interference. Otherwise, the "wire cloth" will lose its distinctive feature.
