Wearing a full lamb’s wool coat

The German Rex is the oldest known breed of curly coated cat. It first appeared in 1946 in the home of Dr. Scheuer –Karpin but was actually developed from a stray adopted by breeders in 1951. Curly coated kittens were obtained through crosses with the Cornish Rex. This proved that the two breeds had the same gene responsible for the mutation. Both the F.I.Fe. and the L.O.O.F. recognize the German Rex. However, the C.F.A. does not distinguish it from the Cornish Rex and Devon Rex. The German Rex is very rare.
