Just as the Scottish Fold is recognized by its unique ears, as is the American Curl. Unlike the Fold, however, the Curl isn’t born with its listening devices already in their final positions. In fact, the American Curl’s ears look like any other cat’s at first. It’s not until a kitten is a few days old that its ears begin to curl back into their permanent places.

These funky-eared felines sell for between $800 and $3,000 — depending on the breeder and how tightly curled their ears are.
