Question: What should you look for in buying a Cornish Rex and finding a good breeder?
FurryDance Cornish Rex Cattery Frequently Asked QuestionsAnswer: Besides the "shiny coat, clean eyes" stuff, we advise people to try and do what we did when we were looking for our very first Cornish Rex, visit the catteries, see the environment, see the adult cats condition and temperament. That is another thing about buying a cat at a cat show, you just can't see much in the way of temperament or personality in a cage or perched on a strangers lap. And you cannot tell if this is the best or the worst of what a breeder has to offer.
Related QuestionsQuestion: How difficult is it to get a Cornish Rex?
FurryDance Cornish Rex Cattery Frequently Asked QuestionsAnswer: We do not advertise in magazines and before having a website, all our cats went to people we met at cat shows or referrals from people who already have a Furry Dance cat. That way, we were able to personally meet and "evaluate" prospective owners and start to build a relationship while they were waiting for a kitten. By the time it arrived and was old enough to leave home, we knew whether they would be the right people for one of our cats.
Related QuestionsQuestion: How do you groom a Cornish Rex?
FurryDance Cornish Rex Cattery Frequently Asked QuestionsAnswer: Nothing is more enjoyable than running your hand over the soft wavy coat of a Cornish Rex and for the most part grooming the coat is more like a massage for the kitty, brushing to loosen loose hair. Because of their short, downy fur the natural skin oils that are normally absorbed by a thicker coat tend to accumulate and attract "dust." Because they have much more hair than a Sphynx, the "body" of a Cornish Rex isn't where the oils tend to build up.
Related QuestionsQuestion: Do Cornish Rex have any health problems unique to the breed?
