The American Curl is a breed of cat.
It has unusual ears for a cat.
They curl back away from the face and seem to be sideways.
This cat is a rare breed, but now lives in the United States, Spain, France, Japan, Russia, and other parts of the world.
The American Curl is usually a strong and healthy breed.
Both longhaired and shorthaired American Curls have soft, silky coats which lie flat against their bodies.
They require little grooming and enjoy spending time with their owners.
The American Curl is a medium-sized cat (5–10 lbs).
It is not completely grown until 2–3 years of age.
American Curl kittens are born with straight ears, like any other kittens.
The ears begin to curl in about eighty-two days.
After four months, their ears will not curl any longer.
Then they become hard and feel stiff.
A house pet American Curl may have almost straight ears.
To qualify for cat shows, ears must curl at an angle between 90 and 180 degrees.
More curl is better, but cats will be not allowed to be shown if their ears touch the back of their skulls.
The breed began in Lakewood, California in a natural birth of kittens, but with a genetic mutation.
In June 1981, two stray kittens were found and taken in by the Ruga family.
The kittens were both longhaired, one black and the other black and white.
The family named the black cat Shulamith.
The black and white was named Panda.
Several weeks later, Panda went missing.
This left Shulamith to be the first female of the American Curl breed.
In 1986, an American Curl was judged in a cat show for the first time.
In 1992, a longhaired American Curl became a champion in The International Cat Association (TICA).
In 1999, the American Curl was the first breed the Cat Fanciers' Association (CFA) Championship Class allowed in both longhair and shorthair categories.
American Curl cats' ears need cleaning often to keep away infections.
The ears must also be handled very gently to keep from breaking the cartilage.

The Mercator projection is a cylindrical map projection which is widely used in cartography today.
It was developed by Gerardus Mercator in 1569.
It is not a physical projection, and cannot be constructed using geometric tools.
On a small scale, geometric shapes can be moved around the map, without distorting them (this property is known as conformity).
As a downside, the scale of the shape and the direction of lines may change when shapes are moved.
For example, Africa is actually 15 times larger than Greenland, but on this map projection they look the same size.

Scagliola (from the Italian scaglia, meaning "chips"), is an artificial way of imitating marble and other precious material.
It is a decorative building material.
Stucco columns, sculptures, and other architectural elements can be made by scagliola.
It came into fashion in 17th-century Tuscany.
Scagliola is a composite substance made from selenite, glue and natural pigments, imitating marble and other hard stones.
The material may be veined with colours and stuck on to a core, or patterns may be carved into a prepared scagliola matrix.
The pattern is then then filled with the coloured, plaster-like composite.
Then it is polished with flax oil for brightness, and wax for protection.
The whole thing gives a  richness of colour not easy to get in natural marbles.

They need to get the kind of exercise they were created for.
A Puli without enough exercise can became mischievous and cause trouble.
