ABOUT THE DEVON REX
The Devon Rex has a pixie-like appearance, often compared to gremlins (the nice ones), E.T., and Yoda of Star Wars fame. However, their truly unique charm lies in their personalities. Devons are saucy, people-oriented little rascals possessed of an intelligent, supremely curious and affectionate nature. Preferring human company to that of other cats, the Devon Rex will gleefully participate in any project you have going, making them the Purrfect Companion. Great communicators, their conversational style consists of twitterings and chirpings by which they express their opinions, wanted or not, and a two-way conversation delights them.
Nothing compares to having a Devon Rex in your heart and home. They aren't nervous or neurotic, and love childern and other animals. Actively seeking out the company of people, Devons are happiest in arms, lap or draped over a shoulder. Comical clowns with an outrageous sense of humor they think everything is a game and enjoy "assisting" in all activities. No one can be depressed or lonely when they are adored by a Devon. Living life with these remarkable and loving cats is a privilege and a pleasure.
Devon Rex solves the problems of many allergy sufferers who love cats but cannot have one around. We know that the saliva on a cat's coat and the microscopic particles of dead skin called "dander" are the actual culprits, not the fur. While every living creature with hair must shed its' coat to some extent, due to the special nature of the Devon coat very little is shed and one would be hard pressed to find any throughout the home. The fur is so velvety soft and delicate it can be worn off in aread, but does grow back.
Theoretically, shorthaired cats, such as the Devon Rex, are well tolerated by many allergy sufferers because they put less dander into the environment. Thus, it is now possible, with the recent appearance fo this breed, for most people to enrich their lives by bringing these lovable pixies into their family.
The Devon is subject to several coat changes. The kitten is born coated then molts (loses some to all of its' fur). It remains in this state of undress until approximately four months of age when the wavy coat begins to emerge. By six months, many will be relatively well coated, but there are those who will not get their full furnishings until two years of age.
The Devon Rex's coat cannot be compared to the coat of any other rex breed because the gene causing it is peculiar only to the Devon Rex. A wide range of colors and patterns completes the Devon profile. Result--the Devon Rex is a wonderful pet for all reasons.
