Traits

LaPerm (LpLp or Lplp) is a dominant gene that causes curly fur. The length of the curl is still dependent on the Fur Length gene.

Compared to Rex fur, the hair is more wavy/fluffy and not as tightly curled. For the sake of New Paths, LaPerm is synonymous with Wirehair, and a cat with this gene can present as whichever the artist prefers.
