A mutant from another world, an enchanting pixie and a uniquely charming feline recognised around the world all describe the cat breed known today as the Devon Rex Cat. This unusual cat, the second rex cat breed developed in the UK, is prized for its coarse,
fuzzy coat, its huge eats, prominent eyes, and lively, affectionate ways. A cousin of sorts to the Cornish Rex, the Devon Rex was named for County Devon where the coat mutation was first reorganised. Since its inception as a pure-bred, the breed has retained its type and soundness, and fanciers from England, Europe, Australia and the US have embraced it for its unchallenged uniqueness and its appealing kitten like behaviour.

The owner of a Devon Rex will welcome the advice of author Chelsea Ring regarding the proper care, training and health of the breed. The author provides insightful chapters on the breed's character, physical description (breed standard) and behaviour
as well as sensible discussions about purchasing a kitten or adult, general maintenance, breeding and exhibiting.

The text is enhanced by the accompanying colour photography, both enlivening the chapters and illustrating vital points about the breed. In all, this book presents over 100 colour photographs and illustrations, including some never-before-seen scanning electron mitrograph images produced exclusively for this series. As attractive as it is informative, this book also addresses the health
concerns of every owner, including a special section about feline eye problems, written by veterinary surgeon Lorraine Waters, plus reliable advice about safety in the home, selecting a vet, coat problems and effective parasite control.

This beautifully designed, completely modern volume dedicated to the Devon Rex Cat will be a treasured addition to every owner's library, ensuring a happier, more rewarding co-existence between owner and his much-Ioved Devon Rex Cat.
