About Cornish Rex

The Cornish Rex is a breed of domestic cat known for its lack of an outer coat layer. This gives them a distinctive, almost velvety appearance and soft feel. Originating in Cornwall, England in the 1950s, the Cornish Rex quickly gained popularity for its playful personality and hypoallergenic qualities (though no cat is truly hypoallergenic, they produce less of the Fel d 1 protein). This breed is known for its intelligence, agility, and affectionate nature, often described as dog-like in their loyalty. Cornish Rex cats are relatively small to medium in size and are active and curious, making them engaging companions. They thrive on interaction and can adapt well to indoor environments.

Size Overview

The Cornish Rex is a slender and elegant cat known for its distinctive wavy coat. Typically, a Cornish Rex will measure around 400mm in length, 400mm in width, and stand about 240mm tall. That's approximately 40.0cm long, 40.0cm wide, and 24.0cm high. Imagine a small shoebox; a Cornish Rex would be about the size of that shoebox lying on its side. Their relatively small size and lightweight build make them a popular choice for apartment living and for owners who appreciate a more manageable feline companion. They are slightly smaller than a domestic shorthair cat, making them easy to handle.
