Introduction
Living in the Midwest Region as an exhibitor, this author does not always get to see all of CFA’s recognized cat breeds during any given season, not by a long shot! The year 2000 marked the beginning of my show career with Tonkinese, and my first show was an eye-opener. At that time CFA recognized forty-two breeds, most of which were unheard of to this writer!
The first American Wirehair introduced to me left me wondering how a cat could remind me of a Brillo pad and yet be pleasingly soft to the touch. Their coats are a true contradiction–coarse and a bit harsh in texture due to the crimps and bends in each individual hair, yet surprisingly pleasant to handle. The feeling is pure fascination, not to mention irresistible. I was fascinated and wanted to learn more.
