Overview & Traits
The Poodle Cat (Pudelkatze) was developed by Rosemarie Wolf, a German Scottish Fold breeder, in 1987 (a date of 1994 is also given) in Starnberg, Germany from crossing Devon Rexes to Scottish Folds. It was a large, healthy cat with folded ears and a curly coat resembling lambswool. It was chunkier than the Devon Rex and had a denser coat. German legislation prohibiting the breeding of cats with defects, such as the skeletal defect associated with Scottish Folds, curtailed the breeding program in Germany, but there is interest in "Poodle cats" elsewhere in Europe. Poodle cats are known or having fur that resembles a poodle, as well as for their playfulness and gentle demeanor.

Breed History
The origins of the Poodle Cat date back many decades, surrounded by fascinating lore and dedicated breeding programs. Early foundation cats were crossbred to solidify the standard traits we observe today. It quickly gained international recognition by the WCF and other major registries.
Living Needs
When it comes to the living environment, the Poodle Cat thrives in spaces where it can safely explore, play, and interact with its family. They benefit from vertical spaces like cat trees and regular mental stimulation. A balanced diet and routine veterinary check-ups are essential for their well-being.
