Cornish Rex

Cornish Rex

CAT BREED

DESCRIPTION

The origin of this elegant breed traces back to a wavy-coated male cat born in a farmhouse in Cornwall. The descendants of this initial sire were interbred with various breeds—including the Siamese, Russian Blue, and American and British Shorthairs—resulting in increased stamina and genetic diversity for the Cornish Rex, along with a broader spectrum of colors. With its ultra-fine, wavy fur and streamlined physique, this cat is truly distinctive. It is outgoing and known for its entertaining antics, yet once playtime ends, it becomes a loving lap cat. Due to its thin coat, this breed is susceptible to extreme temperatures and requires gentle grooming. In the United States, it has developed differently, featuring a more wedge-shaped head.
