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 elfcats@wi.rr.
