Rex
|
Description
The Rex is built for speed. From torso to tail, the Rex is long and lean, and the back is naturally arched. The head is small and egg-shaped, the ears large, alert and set high on the head. The eyes are large, oval, and slanting slightly upward. A long Roman nose enhances the head length. The breed’s most celebrated trait is its very short rexed fur. The Rex coat completely lacks guard hairs – the long, stiff, outer hairs that act as a barrier against the elements. The fur lies close to the body and is extremely soft, silky, and dense. It feels like warm velvet to the touch. Common colours and patterns include bicolour, solid white, blue, and black, black smoke, and red tabby. There are two types of Rex cat, Cornish and Devon. Whilst they are similar in appearance they are very different, particularly in the composition of the coat
The Rex have great personalities to match their special packaging. They have only two speeds – warp drive and out cold. Everything is a game to the Rex and many will bring back toys for you to toss again and again. They are adept at climbing, leaping and sprinting. Rex are intelligent, people-oriented extroverts. They crave the attention of their preferred people. Since their thin coats don’t offer much protection from the elements, Rex are heat-seeking missiles aimed straight at your lap.
