Which cat breed is right for you?
The Devon Rex appeared in 1959 in Buckfastleigh, Devon, England — just a decade after the Cornish Rex, though the two breeds' curly coats are caused by entirely different genetic mutations. This small-to-medium breed weighs 5–10 pounds and has an unmistakable pixie-like face with enormous, low-set ears, large oval eyes, and prominent cheekbones. Their short, soft, wavy coat can come in virtually any color or pattern and has a suede-like texture.
Devon Rex cats are mischievous, high-energy clowns that love to perch on shoulders, steal food, and insert themselves into every activity. They are fiercely people-oriented and will follow their owners everywhere — including into the shower if given the chance. They get along splendidly with children, dogs, and other cats, and their playful, affectionate nature makes them impossible to ignore.

The Norwegian Forest Cat — called "Skogkatt" in Norway — is a natural breed that evolved over centuries in the harsh Scandinavian wilderness. This is a large, powerfully built cat weighing 12–16 pounds (sometimes more), with a triangular head, tufted ears, and a magnificent waterproof double coat featuring a dense undercoat beneath long, glossy guard hairs. They come in nearly every color and pattern except pointed.
Norwegian Forest Cats are gentle giants — affectionate yet independent, happy to sit near you rather than on you. They are athletic climbers who love high perches and will scale bookshelves and cat trees with ease. Patient and tolerant, they do well with children and other pets, though they tend to reserve their deepest affection for their immediate family.
