cattery has been breeding Cornish rexes since 1994. These adorable fireballs have
charmed us from the start with their silky, wavy coat and lively and
active character. We think that
quantity do not cover quality, and so we breed only
two-three litters a year with the best quality cats with fine coats and finest
character.
The coat of a cornish rex is a natural mutation with no help from
people except keeping the trait alive. To get a wavy coat, the gene must
come from both parents because it is recessive.
The coat is unique also because it has no ‘overcoat’ or middle coat,
typical to other cat types. It consists only of the very fine undercoat.
The normal loss of hair is thus also almost nonexistent.
The first CRX was born 1950 at a Cornish farm to a domestic cat litter.
The quality of the coat was talked about, and a genetics expert living in
the neighbourhood suggested the owner that he produce kittens with the
mother and the son. If the result would be more curly haired kittens,
the phenomenon would be a genuine mutation. This was done, and more
wavy-haired kittens were born. A name was wanted to this new breed. As the home
farm of the first kittens was in Cornwall, they took to the name a Cornish.
There were also curly coated rex rabbits on the farm, and the name rex was
borrowed from them. So the name of the wavy coated new cat got the name
Cornish Rex.
The Cornish rexes are sociable and lively and take part in all activities
with the family.
In our home they love to come to sauna, though on the lower bench. They
are very acrobatic, so do not keep frail objects on open surfaces. Very
serious (= humourless) people are not the best owners for rexes, nor those
who prefer cats to be ornaments on the sofa.
We have a variation of colors: blac, blue,
chokolate, lilac, white
spotted variations of these and si-rex blue, seal, chokolate and lilac and
white spotted variations of these, too. We also have various spotted and
mackerel tabbies lately and also torties.
Cornish rexes tended to be very seldom spotted and
mackerel tabbies, but now
they exist in many colors.
Our cats are tested against FIV, FeLV and Microsporum canis. We send our
kittens to their new homes registered, vaccinated and vet chekced. In our
cattery is not found HCM heart disease. Our oldest cats are still in good
condition. Two generations is tested.
