Overview

Cornish Rex

The Cornish Rex is a strikingly elegant breed with a distinctive wavy coat, arched body, and refined bone structure that gives them the appearance of a feline greyhound. Their coat consists only of the soft undercoat, creating tight Marcel-like waves that feel like crushed velvet. Athletic, playful, and endlessly entertaining, Cornish Rex cats bring grace and humor to every household they join.

With over 300 possible color and pattern combinations, sleek lines, and an outgoing personality, Orientals are the extroverts of the cat world. They share the Siamese intelligence and social nature, wrapped in a dazzling variety of non-pointed coat colors that make every one unique.
