What is the difference between Cornish Rex and Devon Rex?
While both Cornish Rex and Devon Rex cats have curly coats, there are some key differences between them, including:
- Coat texture: Cornish Rex cats have a very short, soft, and wavy coat with no guard hairs, giving it a distinct feel. Devon Rex cats have a slightly coarser coat with guard hairs, and their curls are less uniform.
- Body shape: Cornish Rex cats have a sleek, slender body with long legs, a deep chest, and an arched back. Devon Rex cats have a more compact and muscular body with a broad chest and a slightly shorter stature.
- Head shape: Cornish Rex cats have an egg-shaped head with high cheekbones and large, high-set ears. Devon Rex cats have shorter, more rounded heads with prominent cheekbones and large, low-set ears.
