My Birthday Prezzie arrived today

[Inkslinger]

What strange looking cats!

Does anyone know if the rex gene is like the one in rats? (and possibly other species?)

It is actually 2 genes rex1 and rex 2 which are recessive genes, and the mutation turns up in other animals such as rabbits mice and horses wild and domestic.

They are beautiful. I have 2 Devon Rex, 1 being a chocolate Mink that I showed as a baby.
They are the most loyal cats, and they feel like pure velvet to stroke and dont make my animal allergy flare up...Even better

Pics please

 

[Vixen]

Yes pics Absolutely love the chocolate minks

The rex gene in rats and mice is dominant.

Are you saying the rex1 and rex2 thing is for cats?

The REX gene in cats is recessive so it is a different gene in Devon and Cornish . I do not have knowledge of the gene in Selkirk rex cats as they were not in Australia when i was breeding Cornish Rex cats. A Cornish rex when mated to a domestic shorthair will only produce straight hair kittens all carrying the rex gene .
