The Cornish Rex is a distinctive breed known for its soft, wavy coat and elegant, slender body. Unlike most cats that have three coat layers, the Cornish Rex only has the down undercoat, giving it a unique velvety texture. These cats are highly active, playful, and affectionate companions that thrive on human interaction.
