About the Cornish Rex
The Cornish Rex is distinguished by its unique, soft, wavy coat, which lacks the typical guard hairs of most cats. This gives it a distinctive feel and appearance. They have a slender, athletic build with long legs, a whippet-like arched back, and large ears. Exceptionally active, playful, and affectionate, they are often described as "velcro cats" for their love of warmth and human contact. Their high energy and intelligence make them engaging, if demanding, companions.
