Karlsruher

Karlsruher is a breed of domestic cat that originated in Germany, specifically in the city of Karlsruhe. The breed is known for its distinctive appearance, which includes a short, dense coat that is typically black with white markings on the chest and paws. The coat is short and smooth, with a slight undercoat that gives it a soft, velvety texture. The eyes are typically green, but can also be gold or copper-colored. The breed is medium-sized, with a muscular build and a relatively short tail.

Karlsruher cats are known for their friendly and outgoing personalities. They are often described as being very social and affectionate, making them good companions for families and individuals alike. They are also known for being intelligent and curious, which can make them quite entertaining to watch. However, they can also be quite vocal, using a variety of meows and purrs to communicate with their owners.

The breed is relatively new, with the first Karlsruher cats being registered in the 1990s. Despite their relatively short history, they have gained a significant following among cat enthusiasts. The breed is recognized by the Governing Council of the Cat Fancy (GCCF) and the International Cat Association (TICA), among other cat registries.

In terms of care, Karlsruher cats are generally easy to maintain. Their short coat requires minimal grooming, and they are known for being relatively low-shedding. However, they do require regular exercise and mental stimulation to keep them healthy and happy. They are also known for being quite active, which can make them a good choice for individuals who are looking for a more energetic cat.
