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 Snowshoe was developed in the 1960s in Philadelphia by crossing Siamese cats with American Shorthairs, creating a pointed cat with distinctive white "boots" on all four paws. This medium-sized breed weighs 7–12 pounds and combines the Siamese's colorpoint pattern with a more robust, moderately stocky build. Their short, smooth coat comes in seal point and blue point, always featuring white paws, an inverted white "V" on the face, and striking blue eyes.
Snowshoes are vocal, social cats that inherit the Siamese's love of conversation but with a softer, more melodic voice. They are playful and intelligent, often learning to open doors and turn on faucets — many Snowshoes are fascinated by running water. They bond closely with their families and can become distressed if left alone for long periods.
