About Cornish Rex cats


The Cornish Rex cat breed is often referred to as the ‘Greyhound of Cats’, due to their sleek appearance and active personality. Their distinctive coat is the product of a spontaneous natural mutation and was first recorded in the 1950s. Playful, intelligent and adaptable, the Cornish Rex makes for a spirited companion. A good choice for families with children, other pets or regular guests.

Benefits of fresh food for Cornish Rex cats
