They require little grooming and enjoy spending time with their owners. == Appearance == The American Curl is a medium-sized cat (5&ndash;10&nbsp;lbs). It is not completely grown until 2&ndash;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 [[Degree (angle)|degree]]s. More curl is better, but cats will be not allowed to be shown if their ears touch the back of their [[skull]]s.<ref>{{cite web|title
