  • The American Curl
    The American Curl BREED SEMINAR TICA 2019 BY GRACE RUGA Introduction History and origins What influenced us as we wrote the American Curl Standard Defining the American Curl Core Identity Traits Understanding American Curl Ear Types This is what MORNING SICKNESS looks like with Warm Cat Treatment!! Shulamith’s first grandson, Master Luke Litter from first Curl to Curl breeding The American Curl was born! To assist us, in writing the Breed Standard for the American Curl, Jean introduced us to a book, called The Book of The Cat. In the early 1980’s this volume was considered the most accurate text available, presenting a short biography of each recognized breed with detailed drawings, some photos, a section on coat and color genetics, and basic cat care information. We were told in order to develop a breed we needed to choose a recognized breed similar in type and structure to the American Curl to use as our “outcross” breed. At the same time we were to write a Breed Standard for the American Curl describing our structural ideal and the traits that made the American Curl unique from all other breeds. Writing the American Curl Standard Choosing Terminology to reflect the breed identity and essence Here are a few of the pages from The Book of The Cat with visuals and/or vocabulary words we borrowed from a few of the breed’s descriptions in that volume. We highlighted terminology from the following breeds: -Turkish Angora - “Wedged head; body relatively slim. Tail long and bushy. Coat fine, long and silky -Somali – Long-haired Abyssinian.

She is married to Jeff Roberts, also an All Breeds judge in TICA. The name of their cattery “PuraVida” reflects their love for paradise in Costa Rica.

Their breeding program focuses on healthy cats with loving temperaments foremost. She has also shown Bengal, Cymric, Siberian, Maine Coon, Somali, Bombay, and companion cats. She has had the extreme pleasure of judging in Australia and New Zealand several times over recent years. She enjoys the countryside, the new friendships, and of course the fabulous quality of the cats. She has imported cats from Australia and New Zealand for use in her own breeding program, and has exported cats back to Australia in an effort to truly internationalize some gene pools.
