American Curl cats make excellent pets due to their friendly, affectionate, and social nature. They are people-oriented, playful, and adapt well to family life, getting along comfortably with children, other cats, and well-mannered dogs. Their dog-like loyalty and kitten-like playfulness last well into adulthood, making them engaging and loving companions for families and individuals alike.
