American Wirehair Detailed Introduction

The American Wirehair cat is gentle, lively, smart, curious, bold, not afraid of strangers, and easy to get along with people. As the name describes, its fur is very coarse, like a brush, which is completely different from the soft and smooth feeling we feel when we touch ordinary cats. It is easily lonely, so it likes to be gently held or stroked. Its face and body shape are similar to those of American shorthair cats. The growth and reproduction method of American wirehair cats is viviparous.
