Traits of the American Wirehair Cat

A Wirehair's coat differs from that of a Cornish Rex in that it has all three hair types but the Wirehair gene is dominant. This hair is crimped, hooked or bent to give them a dense, resilient coat that forms ringlets instead of waves. This is true of all of their hair - their down, awn and guard. There are significant variations present in both the texture and the length of each cat's coats with the most preferable being short, very dense and coarse to touch.
