Cat
Creature from fairies tales
In science fiction, Elfs are semidivines beings, with long life, magic powers and pointed and curved ears. The
cat beside, the Elf, seems to bring these creatures from fairies tales to the reality. It has started to be
developed in less than three years, through breedings (matings) among individuals of the breeds American
Curl (catbreed with ears curved backwards) and Sphynx (characterized by the absence of coat). “The purpose
was that the Elf inherited these two characteristics and presented unique look: bald and with ears curved
backwards in a Elf style”, tells the north-american Kristen Leedom, one of evolved in the formation of the cat. It
also intended to obtain a sociable, affectionate and active behavior. “The Elf is full of energy and is docile and
outgoing!”, says Karen Nelson, from United States, other one engaged in the improvement of the breed. The
adult Elf should have size from medium to large (weighs from 3,6 up to 6,8 kg) and curve of the ears between
90 up to 180 degree . Thin and short hairs can be present in some regions, as feet, ears, muzzle and tail.
The remainder of the body should be hairless or present a fuzz coat almost imperceptible. The estimation is
that the population of this new cat be around only ten individuals, spread in only five catteries. All in United
States. The breeder Kristen, of Quendi Cattery, can be touched through the e-mail elfcats@wi.rr.com. The
