Devon Rex

A soft wavy coat and a personality closer to a small dog than a typical cat. Make room for energetic play and places to climb or explore each day. The curly coat asks for less routine grooming, though it still deserves regular checks. The published 5–10 lb adult range is a starting point; your pet's measured weight is what matters for choosing food and gear.
