About Devon Rex

Some call them "sheep cats" due to their fine and often wavy coat. They have a silky coat that ranges from thing to thick and shed much less than most cats. Averaging 6-12 pounds, these cats are little affectionate joys. They are brave and like to be around other animals and dogs. They don't like to be left alone for long periods of time. They definitely want to be a family member. 

Devons come in many different colors. The can be solid, shaded, Chinchilla, Smoke, Tabby, Tortoiseshell, Calico, Bi-Colored....

Their coat can get oily, a light bath with mild soap can be used. We don't bathe ours much, they don't need it. 

What can I say? They aren't picky and they don't eat a lot. Use a  high quality food, I use a mix of wet and kibble. 

In 1959 (fairly new), a single curly haired male kitten turned up in a litter born in a garden in Devon, England. The kitten's unusual appearance, amusing antics and loving nature earned him a home with Beryl Cox, who named him Kirtee. At first, Kirtee was considered to be another example of the Cornish Rex mutation. Test breedings proved this theory to be completely incorrect. So, Kirtee was bred to his own offspring to produce more wavy coated kittens, a very different look from the tighter curl of the Cornish Rex coat. The development of the breed moved forward as Kirtee's progeny were out-crossed with several other breeds over the years. Is it any wonder that Devons offer ofe of the broadest variety of colors and patterns of any breed known today?  Source: cfa.org

Part court jester, part soulmate, Devons seek to be all things to all people and are always eager to please. Very intelligent cats, they learn to respond to their names, follow their people everywhere in the house, and often snuggle up next to them in bed. Fascinated by their owners' every activity, they will often seek to provide their own special type of assistance, don't be surprised if your Devon tries to join you in the shower or tub.
