About Cornish Rex
The Cornish Rex is not the result of a cat cross, but rather one of the cat breeds. This cat with high and wide ears first appeared in the 1950s. In addition, this Cornish cat has a variety of colors, both the color of its fur and eyes. Since cats with curly fur do not have protective fur, this cat is quite sensitive to hot temperatures and extreme cold temperatures.
