The Life of Animals | Devon Rex | The Devon Rex is a breed of cat with a curly, very soft short coat similar to That of the Cornish Rex. The first Devon was discovered by Beryl Cox in Buckfastleigh, Devon, UK in 1960 amongst a litter of kittens near a disused tin mine. The breed was initially thought to be linked with the Cornish Rex; however, proved Otherwise test Cats have three types of hair: guard hair, awn hair, and down hair. The Devon Rex's coat is unusual Because there is little guard hair (see Cornish Rex and Sphynx for more information on hair-deficient genetics in cats)
The curl in Devon Rex fur is Caused by a different mutation and gene than That of the Cornish Rex and German Rex, and breeding of a Devon with either of Those cats results in cats without rexed (curled) fur. Devons, the which are medium sized cats, are Often called "pixie cats" or "alien cats" Because Of Their unique appearance. Their uncommonly large ears are set low on the sides of Their wide heads, Their eyes are large, and Their noses are slightly upturned. Devon Rex cats come in all colors. The ears are large and slightly rounded. The typical Devon is active, Mischievous, playful, and very people-oriented. The Devon Rex is a Faithful Companion and Will usually follow the object of Their affection from room to room, waiting for the opportunity to leap onto Their arms, lap, or shoulder.
