American Curl Shorthair
This breed occurred as a spontaneous mutation in Southern California in 1981 when an adopted stray named Shulamith gave birth to a litter in which two of the four kittens had ears that curled away from their faces. Shulamith produced the first shorthaired kittens in her third litter, and at that time they were considered undesirable. As requests for shorthaired kittens became numerous, a breeding program to develop a shorthaired version of the breed was developed.
