Cornish Rex make excellent pets. Aristocratic in appearance they are extremely intelligent, very affectionate and gentle whilst still getting up to mischief and never seeming to grow old. Even cats in their mid-teens will still be playful. Some charming characteristics of the breed are their dog like habits of following their owners around and retrieving their favourite toys. A distinctive feature of the breed being their long toes which enable them to use their paws like little hands. The breed is elegant, agile and very active and requires companionship.
