CAT FANCY Breed Profile: LaPerm

The LaPerm's charming personality and wavy coat have led it from farm to international recognition.

By Elisa Jordan

Situated on the banks of the Columbia River, a scenic area of north-central Oregon that’s steeped in Native American culture and tradition is considered one of the most historic in the state. The French traded there. Lewis and Clark passed through as they made their way to the coast. It’s where the Oregon Trail ended. And there’s yet another unique distinction.

Cats roaming the countryside, keeping the rodent population down, are a common sight in this quiet farming community. On a spring day in 1982, a barn cat known as Speedy built herself a nest in a woodpile underneath the kitchen window of Richard and Linda Koehl’s farm, snuggled down and began delivering kittens.

I suggest that your writers and editors read the standards for breeds and do some research about breeds before they write their columns and pick photographs to represent a breed!! Large round eyes, fat short bodies are NOT in the LaPerm Standard!!! I know that there were excellent photos submitted of LaPerms with titles and you choose pet cats, most likley based soley on the color of the background the photos were taken on!!!
