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

The Cornish Rex will receive a number of benefits when fed daily with fresh cat food, including:

  • Better digestion

  • Improved energy

  • Shiny, healthy coats

Like other cats, the Cornish Rex breed are obligate carnivores, meaning they evolved to receive their nutrients from meat. Yet many well-known brands uses very little meat which is poor quality and cooked at high temperatures to last on a shelf for months, even years. This needs to change.
