None. The LaPerm developed from healthy barn cats, or an occasional purebred that happened to wandered through the Cherry orchard in Oregon. The LaPerm breed developed on it’s own for 10 years before anyone started to develop it as a breed. The astonishing thing was, that even without human interference, at then end of those 10 years, all the cats were very similar in type. For a two-year period only, CFA allowed the use of non-show colored Ocicats.
