The Devon Rex is one of the most distinctive cat breeds in the world, with its huge ears, prominent cheekbones, and short wavy coat giving it an unmistakably elfin, slightly alien appearance. Developed in Devon, England in the 1960s from a spontaneous mutation, the Devon Rex is an irresistibly mischievous, acrobatic, and affectionate cat that bonds closely with its family and treats every day as a performance opportunity.

Pros

  • Unique and striking appearance — bat-eared and wavy-coated
  • Extremely affectionate and bonds intensely with family
  • Low-shedding coat — well-tolerated by many allergy sufferers
  • Highly playful and entertaining throughout life
  • Social and confident with strangers

Cons

  • Thin coat offers poor insulation — needs warm environments in colder climates
  • Ears accumulate wax quickly and need regular cleaning
  • Higher metabolic rate means they eat more than similarly-sized cats
  • Can be mischievous and get into things if not given adequate enrichment
