Character and Behavioral Traits
Devon Rex cats are incredibly social, affectionate, and playful. They are always nearby, involved in everything, and can literally “talk” to their person.
They make excellent companions for families with children, single individuals, and even other pets — Devons get along wonderfully with everyone.
Behavioral Features:
- They love being the center of attention and do not tolerate loneliness.
- They are trainable and quickly learn new tricks.
- They love heights and adore exploring new places around the house.
Care for Devon Rex
Coat and Hygiene
Devon Rex cats have short, wavy fur with almost no undercoat, which reduces shedding. However, it requires regular attention:
- Gently wipe the coat with a soft, damp cloth.
- Be sure to monitor ear cleanliness — due to the shape of their ear canals, this breed tends to accumulate earwax more often.
- Regularly wipe their eyes and trim their claws.
Dental Hygiene
As with all cats, preventing tartar buildup is important: use special dental food or treats designed for teeth cleaning.
Feeding
Devon Rex cats have a fast metabolism and tend to be very active, so their diet should be balanced and nutritious.
- The basis is high-quality premium dry or wet food.
- It is important to provide constant access to fresh water.
- Occasionally, low-fat natural products (boiled meat, vegetables) are allowed, but only in agreement with a veterinarian.
- Do not overfeed — Devons tend to eat “for company.”
Health and Prevention
The breed generally has strong health, but there is a predisposition to certain conditions:
- Dental diseases (prevention is important)
- Tendency to dermatitis due to coat and skin characteristics
- Genetic diseases are rare, but kittens undergo veterinary checks and testing
We provide all necessary vaccinations, issue a health passport, and offer care advice.
Activity and Play
Devon Rex cats are true little bundles of energy.
- They need interactive toys, scratching posts, play structures, and your company.
- The breed responds well to training and games like fetch.
- If you are often away from home, consider getting a second Devon or leaving puzzle toys.
Socialization
Devons easily get accustomed to new people and animals, quickly becoming the heart and soul of the home. From an early age, kittens grow up surrounded by family and learn to be gentle and affectionate towards people.
Tips for Future Owners
- Devon Rex is not for indifferent people. They need love, attention, and involvement.
- Regularly play, communicate, and train your cat.
- Monitor their diet; do not give cheap food or leftovers from the table.
- Create a safe environment: remove toxic plants, close windows, and check screens.
