The LaPerm is a breed of cat. A LaPerm's fur is curly (hence the name 'perm'), with the tightest curls being on the throat and on the base of the ears. LaPerms come in many colors and patterns. LaPerms generally have a very affectionate personality. The LaPerm is in many ways a cat of moderation with no extremes and is still true to its original type.[clarification needed] It does however have an unusual coat. The breed standard describes a muscular foreign-type body, which is medium in size with longish legs and neck. The head is a modified wedge with rounded contours and a muzzle which is slightly broad of the wedge. In profile, the straight nose leads into a break between the eyes up to a flattish forehead. LaPerms also have rather broad noses, flared ears, and medium-large almond-shaped eyes. (Source: Wikipedia.org, CC BY-SA)
