Cat Breed of the Week: Devon Rex
Tuesday August 29, 2006
The Devon Rex is often compared to a pixie, with its elfin cheeky face, turned-up nose, and oversized ears. Like other Rex breeds, it originated from a spontaneous genetic mutation in a barn cat litter, resulting in a wavy coat.
Devons will follow you from room to room, talking to you with chirps and trills, and will happily arrange themselves around your neck like a suede scarf, so you may carry your Devon with you wherever you go.

We are visited most evenings by a most unusual cat. He is long-legged, and has a pointed head shape rather like a Siamese, but he is a faded tan colour, with faint reddish stripes, like a bleached ginger cat. He talks all the time in a squeaky little voice, and is very polite. Our little (spayed) Moggy loves him, and looks for him. I’m sure he must be a special breed, but I can’t find anything which matches his aristocratic looks.
Can anyone recognise his description?
That is one interesting cat. It sure looks different from the others cats I’ve seen. If I were to choose a pet cat. Perhaps, I’ll choose this one. Very cute and rare looking.
So cute! aah.
