Cornish Rex

With their unique, eyecatching appearance, Cornish rex cats are perfect for people with avantgarde tastes. Learn all about this regal cat breed.
With their long and slender bodies, large eyes, and huge ears, the Cornish rex is a cat sure to spark conversation—and those aren't even their most unique feature. The Cornish rex lacks the long hair of an outer coat, leaving her with just a curly, soft down undercoat that feels like velvet when you pet her. 
But these kitties aren't just looks. Cornish rex cats are highenergy and playful, and you will often find them peering down at you from the top of your refrigerator. If you're looking for a spirited indoor companion, a Cornish rex will fit right into your home. 
The Cornish rex's body is extremely slender, giving her the appearance of being fragile. This is all a ruse, since everything under the skin is hard muscle and bone, and they are surprisingly sturdy and energetic cats.
Their bodies are topped by a smallish, eggshaped head that carries high cheekbones; large, round eyes; a long nose; and giant ears situated at the top of the skull. But the main hallmark of the Cornish rex is her coat. Where most breeds have three different types of hair—the long outer guard hairs, a middle layer of awn hair, and the down undercoat—Cornish rex cats only have the third down coat, giving them a soft, wavy appearance that feels like velvet.
The Cornish rex is an incredibly curious, bright, highenergy breed. Emphases on the highenergy. 
"Cornish rexes may be seen as the border collies of the cat world," Bonk says. "They're always on the move and do better if they have a job to do. While they really enjoy playing with you, interactive toys, such as batteryoperated mice, puzzle toys, or maze toys, can help keep them entertained when you can't play with them."
When you bring home a Cornish rex kitten, she's going to need places to explore. A natural born climber and jumper, she'll be thrilled with a cat tree (or two), some cat shelves mounted to the walls, and a window hammock where she can lounge. 
Your rex will also need a nice, cozy, and (most importantly) warm cat bed. Her incredibly short coat might be cute and soft, but it doesn't do much to keep her warm.
