Temperament
Cornish Rex cats are lively, curious, and often compared to acrobats. They love to climb, jump, and interact with their humans. This breed tends to bond closely with their families and enjoys being in the center of the action.
Grooming and Care
With their unique wavy coat made up of only soft down hairs, Cornish Rex cats need almost no grooming. However, their active nature means they benefit from lots of play, puzzle toys, and climbing spaces. They also enjoy warmth and may seek out cozy spots around the house.
History and Origin
The Cornish Rex originated in Cornwall, England, in the 1950s when a curly-coated kitten was discovered in a litter. This kitten became the foundation of the breed, which was developed through careful breeding to preserve the distinctive coat and build.
