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 Ragamuffin emerged in the 1990s as a separate breed from the Ragdoll, developed by breeders who wanted to expand the gene pool and introduce a wider array of colors and patterns. This is a large, heavy cat — weighing 10–20 pounds — with a broad chest, substantial bone structure, and a plush, rabbit-soft coat that resists matting. Ragamuffins come in every color and pattern, including mink, sepia, solid, and bicolor variations not found in Ragdolls.
Ragamuffins are exceptionally docile, trusting cats often described as "puppy-like" in their devotion. They greet visitors at the door, follow family members from room to room, and love being held — often going completely limp when picked up. Their patience and gentle nature make them outstanding companions for children and multi-pet households.
