Devon Rex are human loving and have some dog-like qualities. If you decide to have a Devon Rex you must be prepared: A Devon will follow you everywhere: eat with you, sleep with you, and perch on your shoulder. They enjoy human company!
You should not be surprised to find a Devon in bed with you or another family member, underneath the covers or settled on your pillow. Devons remain kittens all their lives. They have a precious connection with every person in the household.
The look of the Devon Rex is far from ordinary: long necks, odd heads and big ears, and a curly coat that can range from wildly curly to soft suedelike. They are rather small cats (between six to nine pounds). Devons are quite low maintenance, wash-and-wear companions although Devons are not hypoallergenic (as some believe). They do shed, although their unique coat may make the shedding less obtrusive than that of many cats.
Mother Nature created this feline oddity. They originated in Devonshire, England, in the late 1950s when a Miss Cox found that a stray cat in her care had given birth to a rather odd looking curly-haired kitten.
Man had no hand in the mutation, but man made it possible for the mutation to survive and flourish, providing cat lovers around the globe the opportunity to meet, love, and be loved by a Devon Rex cat. Colors include a wide array of solid, shaded, smoke, tabby, bi-color, and pointed patterns.
