Cats
common. Locals consider it their "normal" cat and view as unusual cats of the mainland or
other islands. These cats tend to be white bodied with restricted coloured patches. It appears
the mutation may be similar to American Curl. There are two Paxoi islands, but is unclear,
which one the report relates to." A young cat with a moderate curl has also been reported.
The Elf breed was initiated in 2006 with the first full hairless, curl-eared Elf being born in
2008. It combines the Sphynx hairlessness with the American Curl's ear conformation.
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
