The Cornish Rex cat gets his name from the Rex rabbit The similarities come from the unusual wavy coat. The Cornish Rex came about in Cornwall, England in 1950 and it seems occurred from a mutated gene. In the United States the Cornish Rex was recognized for championship in 1979 as is presently involved in competition all over the world. This cat is very lean and resembles a Whippet dog with it sarched back and pulled up stomach. Long, thin legs and the way it poses on its feet make the cat look as if it's standing on tiptoe. The coat on the Cornish Rex is its most unusual feature. Short and very soft it lies quite close to the body and appears as waves of curls all over the cat including it's stomach. Daily hand grooming is what this cat requires. He does need a warm climate. The coloring of the Cornish Rex may be of any variety including colorpointed. The major factor is the coat. It is so important in showing the cat that usually at least 50 points will be put towards the coat. This is a most affectionate cat who is active and playful. He will fetch and catch and will be like a kitten far into his maturity.     Conqueror Deep Congo Sire: Rexpartes Superious Court Dam: Conqueror Once Barbarella   Thank you to Shaluli Orientals, Siamese and Cornish Rex for providing this beautiful photos.     Ratings out of 10 Compatibility: -Children -Other Pets   4 Grooming 1 Affection 10 Playfulness 10 Attention Need 8 Healthiness 4 Independence 2 Activity Level 10 Vocality 3 Intelligence 9
