Cats
Permissible out-crosses include non-pedigree domestic shorthairs. They have a sturdy,
athletic build, are sociable, intelligent, inquisitive and people centred. Half-Elf cats e.g. furred
Elf variants result from outcrosses to diversify the gene pool.
The Dwelf also combines curl ears with hairlessness, but adds Munchkin and Highlander (a
bobtailed, curl-eared polydactyl breed) to the mix. These combine hairlessness, curled ears
and short legs. Non-standard (long legged) Dwelfs may resemble the Elf breed.
IRISH SHORT-EARED CAT
Described in a light-hearted book depicting cats which had been "painted" with vegetable dye
(in fact all painted cats were photo-manipulations), the Irish Shortear is a mutant-eared cat
that never was. This footnote has been included because people have asked where to find an
Irish Shortear!
The book in question was the spoof "Why Paint Cats" and the fake breed among genuine
breeds was the Irish Shortear
