With a lean, athletic build and a distinctive wedge-shaped head, the Cornish Rex is instantly recognizable. Their most striking feature, however, is their coat. Unlike any other cat, the Cornish Rex boasts a curly, rippled coat that covers their entire body, including their whiskers and eyebrows. Surprisingly dense and warm for such a short coat, it feels incredibly soft to the touch. This captivating combination of appearance and texture sets the Cornish Rex apart from all other cat breeds
