The Devon Rex cat gets his name from the Rexrabbit The similarities come from the unusual wavy coat. The CornishRex came about in Cornwall, England in 1950 and it seems occurred froma mutated gene. In the United States the Devon 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 itsarched back and pulled up stomach. Long, thin legs and the way it poses on its feet make thecat look as ifit's standing on tiptoe. The coat on the Devon Rex is its most unusual feature. Short and very soft it lies quite close to the body andappears 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 Devon Rex may be of any variety including colorpointed. The major factor is the coat. Itis 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.   From left to right: Sp Pr Taldi Jack-Flash NQ  Black & White- Neuter Male •• SACC CAT OF THE YEAR 2003: NEUTERS placed 19th   Sp Ch Chatterleys Suzi Snowflake White Sp Ch Serena Dutchess Natasha Bluepoint   Gr Ch Serena Sailorman Davy Jones Imp UK  Black Smoke •• SACC Stud of the year 2003   Thank you to Taldi Cats for providing these beautiful photos. www.taldi.co.za   Ratings out of 10 Compatibility: -Children -Other Pets   6 Grooming 2 Affection 10 Playfulness 10 Attention Need 8 Healthiness 5 Independence 3 Activity Level 10 Vocality 3 Intelligence 8
