Did you know that the American Wirehair is a great choice for a unique family cat? The breed loves to play, they love attention, they are loyal, affectionate, and they get along with people of all ages including children. The American Wirehair first came about in 1966 when it was discovered on a farm in upstate New York. The wirehaired kitten was part of a litter of six American Shorthair kittens. The kitten was different from the rest as it had a wire like coat. It is a natural mutation that occurred when breeding two domestic shorthair cats. The wirehair cat’s coat is of a wire texture similar to the terrier canine. Yet the coat is coarse and soft at the same time. Most wirehair cats are kept for breeding or showing so it might be a little difficult to locate one for a pet. Learn more here or call your veterinarian Aurora, CO.
