Cornish Rex

Introduction:
The Cornish Rex is not a dog breed but rather a cat breed known for its curly fur and slender build. It originated in Cornwall, England, in the 1950s when a natural genetic mutation led to the birth of a kitten with a short, curly coat. This unique feature has become the hallmark of the Cornish Rex cat. The cat is recognized by several major cat registries around the world.Image

Lifespan: 12-14 years on average

Coat Length: Short, tight curls that feel like warm felt; it does not have an undercoat

Alias(es): None (this is a specific cat breed name)

Height: Medium-sized cats, typically weighing between 6 and 12 pounds

Place of Origin: United Kingdom

Body Size: Slender, athletic frame

Shedding Level: Low; despite having shorter hair than many other breeds, they can still shed due to their tightly curled coats. Regular grooming may help reduce shedding.

Trainability: Cats are independent animals, but the Cornish Rex tends to be more social and playful than some other breeds, making them relatively easy to handle and train compared to other feline companions. They enjoy learning new tricks and playing interactive games.

It’s important to note that this description applies specifically to the Cornish Rex cat breed and should not be confused with any corresponding or similarly named dog breeds.
