American
Wirehair Cat
Weight:
8-11 lbs.
Coloring - American Wirehairs are medium-sized cats and come in many different
colors and patterns. Eyes
- Deep blue, brilliant gold, odd-eyed, greeen, blue-green or hazel. Brilliant gold
is the most common, although eye color relates to coat color. Overall
Appearance - The American Wirehair is a spontaneous mutation. The coat, which
is springy, dense, and resilient, but also coarse and hard to the touch, distinguishes
the American Wirehair from all other breeds. Personality
- Pet owners delight with their quiet, resserved and loving ways. Breed
Fact - The American Wirehair breed is uniquely American. It began as a spontaneous
mutation in a litter of upstate New York farm cats in 1966. A spontaneous mutation
is an uncommon, although not rare, happening which occurs when two ordinary cats
come together and as a result of their mating, a kitten unlike its parents or
littermates is born.
