The Devon Rex is often called the “alien” or “pixie” cat due to its odd-shaped head, elfin face, and extremely large ears set low on its head. It is a short-haired cat with a fragile coat of curly hair and curled whiskers: the result of a mutation similar to that of the Cornish Rex. In some areas on its body it may be lacking in fur completely. Social by nature, the Devon Rex cat can be both a loyal and mischievous companion. Its personality is often described as a mix between a cat, a dog, and a monkey.
The typical Devon Rex Cat has an overall height of 10”-12” (25-30 cm) and body length of 15”-18” (38-46 cm). An average Devon Rex weighs between 6-9 lb (2.7-4.1 kg) and has a typical lifespan of 9-15 years.
