Cat
Creature from fairies tales
In science fiction, Elfs are semi divines beings, with long life, magic powers and pointed and
curved ears. The cat on the pictures seems to bring these creatures from fairies tales to the
reality. It started to be developed in less than three years, through matings among individuals of
the breeds American Curl (cat breed 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 Karen Nelson, that wrote the standard of the breed. It also intended to obtain a
sociable, affectionate and active behavior. “The Elf is full of energy and is docile and
outgoing”, says Kristen Leedom, from United States, other one engaged in the improvement of
the breed. The adult Elf should have size from medium to large (weight from 3,6 up to 6,8 kg).
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 cattery's. All in
United States. The breeder Kristen, of Quendi Cattery, can be touched through the e-mail

NOTE: The featured cat is Falmari's King Ingwe, owned by Karen Nelson
