American Curl

American Curl scores a 5 in dog-friendliness with a 12-to-16-year lifespan, ranking #4 with a longevity edge over #2 Aegean by 4 years. This laid-back breed’s curled ears are a genetic marker linked to a 15% lower risk of conflict with canines. Families will appreciate its 0.5-point higher calm score than the average cat, ensuring peace without the Kurilian’s 19-year potential.
