Cornish Rex Characteristics and Temperament

The Cornish Rex has a slender, muscular body on long fine legs with a naturally arched back giving it a whippet-like silhouette. Its most distinctive feature is a coat composed only of wavy undercoat — short, curly and extremely soft. The Cornish Rex is an extremely active, playful and acrobatic cat that loves running, jumping and performing aerial stunts. It is also very affectionate and seeks human warmth.

In apartments in Montreal, Laval or Gatineau, the Cornish Rex thrives as an ideal indoor cat. Its sensitivity to Quebec’s cold makes outdoor living inadvisable. With a life expectancy of 12 to 15 years, the Cornish Rex is a joyful and energetic companion that never stops surprising and entertaining its Quebec family.
