Curled Ear Tip?

[claydust]

I was wondering if anyone else has a cat with a curled ear tip?

Kasey's right ear tip is curved rearwards, a bit.

I have known her most of her life, she was brought home in May 2008. She has always had this.

The ear look nornal and healthy, it is just that the tip is curled back in a bit of a curve.

American Curl cats were natural mutations where the ears curled backwords. So it could be just a natural mutation with your cat.

Here's some info about the American Curl.

AC's come in both long and short hair cats - its more obvious with the shorthair cats. Friend of mine has some stunning long hair AC's - she orginially bred Persians, then got into the LH Curls.

Interesting.

They have more curl than Kasey and Kasey just has the tip curled a bit, those seem to have more of the ear involved.

Then Kasey just has it in the right ear; gives her character (as if the old tortie needs more character

)

Do you have a picture of her? Curled ears can vary from the tip to more.

I don't have a picture that shows the ear very well, I will have to try to take one.
