"Why do cats reign at my home? A cat, after all, is an independent being that likes walking alone... But mine are not just simple cats, they are Cornish Rex breed cats! They differ from other cats not only with presence but character as well. Nice, friendly, energetic and adoring human companionship. And that silk fur! The biggest advantage and the feature that distinguishes them from other breed cats is wonderful, short, soft and wavy fur. You just wish caressing and caressing..."
History of the Cornish Rex
The story of the Cornish Rex begins in Cornwall, England. On 21st July, 1950 a tortoiseshell cat by the name of Serena and owned by Mrs Nina Ennismore gave birth to a litter of five kittens. One red and white colored kitten in this litter had an unusual curly coat. The kitten was named Kallibunker and was to become the founder of the Cornish Rex breed.

Cornish Rex personality
Once seen, never forgotten. The Cornish Rex cat is delightful, distinctively different, constantly charming and captivating. Rexes need people, and given a choice will spend most of their time with humans. When they are free to choose their own sleeping quarters, their first choice is the owners bed.
In personality, the Cornish Rex is extremely affectionate and people-oriented. They are also active cats whose kitten-like antics last for their lifetime and who can be very inventive in their play.
Where other cats are frightened or annoyed, the Cornish Rex watches with interest. They like people and they also like to participate in their activities. Using its paws like hands, a Rex can pick up small objects, and have even learned to turn door knobs and open doors. Give a Cornish Rex a piece of string and watch it go into action. Its movement are, like its very body, a study in curves as it jumps, dances and rises up on its hind legs. Its keen intelligence is observable through the alert interest with which it regards people and their antics. Yet the same Rex who has just been gracefully flying through the air will be very happy to cuddle up on its owner's lap or, even better, right under his chin. Truly a study in contrasts, a Cornish Rex is one of the most versatile pets with a mood to match every occasion - it is truly a cat for all seasons. When not paid the proper amount of attention, the Cornish will make their feelings known.
In spite of its delicate appearance, the Cornish Rex is surprisingly hardy breed and does not require any unusual care. An active cat who loves to exercise, it has no problems creating its own entertainment. While most mature cats outgrow their kittenish playfulness, a Cornish Rex never loses interest in games, and as an adult it as playful as a kitten. Because it is active and likes to participate in all household goings-on, the Cornish Rex does not take well to being caged. Cornish Rex that are raised in confinement without close human contacts lose their zest for life. To be a family member with free run of the house represents the best life for the Rex. The Cornish Rex loves heat and will get as close as possible to its source. If your home has electric baseboard heat, your Rex will spend winter days sitting right on top of the heater, and in summer will enjoy basking in the sun even during the hottest part of the day.
