Devon Rex Cats

The Devon Rex is a breed of cat that emerged in England during the 1960s. Known for their odd, striking appearance and playful, companionable nature, the Devon is a favorite among pet owners. They are often featured in Cat Fancy, a monthly magazine about cats. A very rare and select breed, the average Devon Rex sells for $500 to $750 USD and $500 to $800 AU. This price is compared to that of the early 1990s, when they sold for around $300 USD.The curl in Devon Rex fur is caused by a different mutation and gene than that of the Cornish Rex and German Rex, and breeding of a Devon with either of those cats results in cats without rexed (curled) fur. Devons, which are medium sized cats, are often called "pixie cats" or "alien cats" because of their unique appearance. Their uncommonly large ears are set low on the sides of their wide heads, their eyes are large, and their noses are slightly upturned. Their body type is distinctly lightly-built. Their long, sturdy legs are great for long leaps, and their toes are unusually large. Devon Rex cats come in most colors.
