Detailed description of Devon Rex

Devon Rex is a medium-sized cat breed with a distinct curly coat. Cats are lean but muscular with long legs that appear a tiny bit crooked.

Genesis

The breed’s history began with singular appearances of cats with curly coats in litters of other domesticated cats. The intriguing curl was probably the result of a natural genetic mutation and in the beginning, nobody paid any attention to kittens with such a peculiar coat. A year later, Beryl Cox from Devon county decided to focus on the cats with curly coats when she found such a kitten in a litter of her very own cat. The kitten grew up just fine and was later used in further crossbreeding. The breed acquired its name from the Devon county in which cats with curly coats had their first-ever appearance.

Appearance

Devon rex cats owe their intriguing appearance to their unique, curly coat. In addition to that, they have skinny, triangular heads with pronounced cheekbones and full cheeks. The skinny heads of the Devon rex cats are adorned with big and wide ears that are set quite low. They have lean but strong and muscular torsos and long and slim necks. Their legs are also slim and quite long and can appear a bit crooked. A skinny tail with a sharp point is a cherry on top the peculiar looks of Devon rex cats. Cats of this breed can appear in any colour and pattern, the amount of white in this breed is not regulated by the breed standard.

Behaviour

Devon rex cats are very intelligent and extremely active. They will gladly spend most of their time running, climbing or playing with toys you provide them with. These cats will gladly squeeze into any accessible space - you can find your Devon rex chilling among the books, between your plants or in a desk drawer, if you leave it open long enough. They make for very social felines that do not like to be left alone for prolonged periods of time. They are not nagging in any way, but they do enjoy the company of their humans and will happily join you in everyday tasks. They can be taught to walk on a leash, which they tend to enjoy quite a lot. Devon rex cats are the only breed that will wag their tail as a sign of joy.

Requirements

These intelligent and active cats do require a lot of physical activity. Devon rex cats love climbing, so if you don’t want your cat climbing bookcases provide your feline with a tall cat tree. Devon rex cats enjoy a vast variety of physical activity - every day spend some time playing with your cat. Cats of this breed can learn to walk on a leash - buy a good quality leash with a harness. The short coat of the Devon rex cats do not provide them with good protection against the cold - try avoiding spending time outside during winter and cold weather.

Daily care

Short and curly coat of the Devon Rex requires special care and treatment. Regular brushing will be more than enough to aid your cat in getting rid of the dead hair and minimising the risk of hairballs forming in the cat's digestive tract. Remember to trim your cat’s nails - too long claws can snag on anything and it can cause your cat pain.
