the American Curl


The ears of the American Curl are often compared to a lynnx on how they're tufted, but unlike a lynnx, they curl backwards. No human engineering involved, these cats naturally gained the gene for this odd mutation. Even adults have kitten-like personalities and make odd trilling cooes instead of normal cat noises. They are accepted in every color.

The Scottish Fold


An odd mutation creates the unmistakable folded over ears of the Scottish Fold breed. Because the gene has incomplete dominance, the cats can have folded ears or strait ears. They are allowed in every color--except for colors and/or that suggest hybridazation with anything other than the American Shorthair and the Brittish Shorthair (ex. lavendar, Himilayan patterened, chocolate, or a combination of these and white).
