"Even the smallest feline is a work of art" - Leonardo da Vinci
During the last few years in Europe and America, cats have largely overtaken dogs in popularity rankings as favorite pets. It's not difficult to guess why it's the cat that became a perfect companion for humans in modern, urban and often contaminated by workaholism society.
We know that despite requiring much care, they are still generally less trouble then most other pets. More and more people are discovering what poets, artists and cat lovers have always known: the cat is not just a dog substitute - the cat is a loving, beautiful friend, who is precious for its own attributes.
Every cat is exceptional and one of a kind
Cornish Rex Origin and Personality
The Cornish Rex breed dates back to 1950, when a red and white curly male kit ten was found in a litter of kittens, on Bodmin Moor, Cornwall, England.
Once seen, never forgotten. The Cornish Rex cat is delightful, distinctively different, constantly charming and captivating. Rexes need people, and given a choice will spend most of their time with humans.
It is hard to find words to do justice to all Cornish Rex fine qualities, but whether as a show cat or just as a pet, no-one could be immune to their magnificent coat.
In personality, the Cornish Rex is extremely affectionate and people-oriented. They are also very active and inventive in their play.
The Cornish Rex is one of the few breeds which enjoy the crowds and excitement found at a cat show. They like people and they also like to participate in their activities.
Using its paws like hands, a Cornish Rex can pick up small objects, and some have even learned to turn door knobs and open doors. Give a Cornish Rex a piece of string and watch it go into action.
Its movements are, like its very body, a study in curves as it jumps, dances and rises up on its hind legs.
Its keen intelligence is observable through the alert interest with which it regards people and their antics.
Yet the same Rex who has just been gracefully flying through the air will be very happy to cuddle up on its owner's lap or, even better, right under his chin.
Truly a study in contrasts, a Cornish Rex is one of the most versatile pets with a mood to match every occasion. It is truly a cat for all seasons.
When not paid the proper amount of attention, the Cornish will make their feelings known.
Cornish Rex Traits
In spite of its delicate appearance, the Cornish Rex is a surprisingly hardy breed and does not require any unusual care.
An active cat who loves to exercise, it has no problems creating its own entertainment. While most mature cats outgrow their kittenish playfulness,
a Cornish Rex never loses interest in games, and as an adult is as playful as a kitten. Because it is active and likes to participate in all household goings-on, the Cornish Rex does not take well to being caged.
Cornish Rex that are raised in confinement without close human contacts lose their zest for life. Their coat becomes dull, the curl disappears, and they pine away.
To be a family member with free run of the house represents the best life for a Rex. The Cornish Rex loves heat and will get as close as possible to its source.
If your home has electric baseboard heat, your Rex will spend winter days sitting right on top of the heater, and in summer will enjoy basking in the sun even during the hottest part of the day.
Cornish Rex Coat
The Cornish Rex have soft, wavy, rippled coats which lack guard hairs, and therefore they don't shed like other cats. This means that the Cornish Rex require very little grooming, and they don't deposit hair all over the house. This also means that this breed of cat is one to consider if you are a allergy sufferer.
The Cornish Rex has been compared to the Whippet dog because of its slender athletic build, curved contours, arched back, and willowy body.
From torso to tail the Cornish Rex is long and lean. However, do not let the willowy form fool you-the Cornish Rex is no weakling. Under that ultra short fur are strong bones and muscles.
The defining characteristic of the breed, however, is its very short, close lying, very soft wavy fur. The entire coat is curly or wavy, sometimes compared to the design of a washboard.
They have a marcel wave. Although completely lacking guard hairs-the long, stiff, outer hairs that act as a barrier against the elements-the Cornish Rex's coat is made up of the soft inner down and awn hairs, with down hair predominating. The lack of guard hairs make the Cornish Rex's coat very soft touch. The soft, warm feel is luxurious.
The coat requires very little grooming. They do not shed like other breeds, but the short, fine hair is hard to see, and they don't deposit their hair over the furniture like other animals.
Fanciers often compare the feel of the Cornish with warm suede or crushed velvet.
