Cornish RexHistory
The Cornish Rex cat breed was created as a result of a spontaneous natural mutation, which occurred in non-pedigree cats in Cornwall, England in 1950. Serena, a tortie and white short hair pet cat gave birth to five kittens. Four kittens were normal coated, but the fifth kitten was born with a curly coat and whiskers. This kitten was named Kallibunker, and was the original Cornish Rex. All Cornish Rex today trace their ancestry to the original Cornish Rex, Kallibunker. Appearance Cornish Rex is long and slender. All contours of its body are gently curved. The coat is very short and soft, lying close to the body. They are characterized by large ears, which are set high on a comparatively small, egg-shaped head with high cheekbones, hollow cheeks, and a high-bridged Roman nose and strong chin. It has a small waist and very long, fine legs. These cats are extremely well-built and muscular. The Cornish Rex comes in a wide variety of colours and patterns, including solids, bicolours, smokes, shadeds and tabbies. Personality Cornish Rex is extremely affectionate, friendly, alert and people-oriented. They are very agile and are known for their self-confidence and desire to mingle with people.
