Cornish Rex

Felis catus

✨ Wissenswertes

Cornish Rex kittens have such tightly curled fur that they look like fuzzy little lamb chops for the first few months of life.

A breed defined by its soft, wavy, down-only coat with no guard hairs — often compared to velvet, karakul lamb, or crushed silk. Slender, whippy body with large ears, high cheekbones, and an egg-shaped head. Extremely playful and acrobatic.
