Closely related to Devon Rexes, Cornish Rex cats are known for only having a single coat of fur, compared to most cats which have three. This lack of fur means that Cornish Rexes shed less than other breeds, but like the Sphynx cat, require frequent bathing in order to get rid of excess oil on the skin. The combined lack of shedding and frequent bathing reduces the buildup of dander and saliva on these cats, which in turn lessens the possibility of provoking an allergic reaction. Because of their thin, light coats that make them sensitive to low temperatures, Cornish Rexes are best suited for indoor living.
