DEVON’S

Devon’s are happy, cheeky, outgoing, intelligent curly-coated balls of fun.  They have elf-like faces, and big bat ears.  I’m sure all cat owners say this, but they are like no other breed of cat.  Their coats look like they’ve been permed with a curling iron, and are velvety soft to touch.

 

Devons will follow you all over the house, wherever you are that’s where they want to be.

They love to sit on your shoulder or lie across your neck.  They may even try to sit on your lap while your on the loo.  Some will retrieve thrown toys almost endlessly.   They love going for a walk on a lead.

 

People who are cat-allergic, are less likely to suffer with Devon’s than with other breeds.  This is because Devon’s have very few guard hair compared with other cats.  Allergens are usually spread around when a cat grooms and sheds guard hair.  The best way to check if you are allergic, is to have a play and a pat with a Devon and see if you have any reaction.

 

 

Devon Rex - Mums and Kittens

 

Devons are patient and nurturing mothers.  Litters are usually three to five kittens. They will usually open their eyes between five to seven days, some however, open their eyes at one to two days.  They would hate to miss out on seeing everything.
