The devon rex look is a very unusual one.
You may think it resembles an alien, a pixie, the inhabitant of a fairy world.
His coat is short and curly, softer than you can imagine
if you have never touched one !

The devon rex body feels warmer than that of other cats because the devon has
less hair to insulate your hand from the higher temperature that all felines
have. It is a real joy to cuddle one.
His head is small,
with giant ears set very low on the sides of his head,
and big, oval eyes.
A short head with broad cheekbones and a strongly marked nose stop
when viewed in profile.
H is chin is strong,
he has fat whisker pads,
a long and thin neck like ET- extraterrestial.
Stephen Spielberg was inspired by his pet devon rex when
making the movie.

He has nice funny curly whiskers !

The devon rex body size is small to medium,
with small oval paws and a long thin tail.
In adult devon rex cats the coat should be soft and curly.
Densely covering the back and sides but thinner on the head,
legs and tail. Many devons only
have down on their bellies.
