Everything you need to know about cornish rex cats!
The Cornish Rex is a breed of domestic cat. The Cornish
Rex has no hair except for down. Most breeds of cat have three different
types of hair in their coats: the outer fur or "guard hairs", a middle
layer called the "awn hair"; and the down hair or undercoat, which is
very fine and about 1 cm long. Cornish Rexes only have the undercoat.
They are prone to hair loss and many will develop a very thin coat or
even go bald over large parts of their body. The curl in their fur is
caused by a different mutation and gene than that of the Devon Rex. The
breed originated in Cornwall, Great Britain.
The breed is sometimes referred to as the Greyhound of the cats, because
of the sleek appearance and the galloping run characteristic of the
breed. These cats tend to stay playful and kittenish throughout their
long lives. Some Cornish Rexes like to play fetch, race other pets, or
do acrobatic jumps.
The Cornish Rex is an adventurous cat and is very intelligent. It can
readily adapt to new situations and will explore wherever it can go. The
Rex is extremely curious, seeks out the company of people and is
friendly towards other companion animals.
