Devon Rex Cat

Fanciers consider me as one of the most unique looking cats in the feline world. Let's kick things off with my odd-shaped head. Apart from being triangular in structure, it also appears a bit big for its size. My ears and eyes are large and my nose is slightly sloping.

My face is framed by a short muzzle and a strong chin, with prominent cheekbones that give me an elfin look. My eyes come in a variety of shades, particularly yellow, orange, hazel, gold, green, copper, blue, aqua, amber as well as odd-eyed.

Now while I have a very slender body that makes me look fragile and rather scrawny, I am well-muscled and flaunt strong bones. My neck and chest are willowy yet noticeably compact. Moreover, my legs are long and wispy, but still have a good amount of muscle on them.

Perhaps the most conspicuous physical attribute I have is my coat. It's very short and soft and has a curly texture that really stands out.

Interestingly, dedicated fanciers look for a fine, full-bodied coat that spreads evenly across the body of a Devon Rex when selecting a one of us for show.

I am pretty easy to take care of, even for first time cat owners. Given my very sociable and friendly disposition, I am also an ideal feline for families with young children and other pets. All I ask is that I'm given regular attention and affection.

The only thing you should be warned about is that I like to leap high into the air and climb on top of everything and everywhere whenever I get in the mood. And sometimes, I can get really mischievous especially when food is involved. If youre okay with these little idiosyncrasies of mine, we'll get along famously.

Just to set things straight, I am not hypoallergenic unlike what many people seem to believe. Although I may not shed as much as other felines, I still give off the enzyme Fel d1 through my falling hairs that can trigger allergic reactions in humans.
