Alpaca cat

Did you know that an Alpaca cat is an old name for the current LaPerm Cat? The LaPerm is a curly haired cat. The Alpaca is a long haired domesticated animal a bit bigger than a sheep with a longer neck. The Alpaca is related to the Llama and the hair is used to create fine cloth. The Aplaca coat is a little like the coat of a long haired LaPerm. LaPerms come in short and long hair.
