Breed Review: Cornish Rex (19 Pics)

In 1957, Francis Blancheri acquired two Cornishes and transported them from the British Isles to the United States. At the same time, one of the rex (red color, also called "tabby" or "tabby") did not acquire offspring. The blue beauty named Lamorna Cove was more fortunate: she arrived in America almost on demolition and soon gave offspring in the person of two Cornish Rexes of white and blue color. It is noteworthy that the father of the kittens was the long-suffering Englishman Poldu even before the unfortunate meeting with the veterinarian's scalpel. The spread of the breed across the United States began with these adorable babies.

Many lines of American Cornish descended from him in the future. Wanting to rise one step higher in the development of the breed, Weiss contacted the notorious Nina Ennismore, with whom she planned to conclude a profitable deal and acquire more kittens for further breeding. However, by that time, Ennismore had already got rid of her pets and was forced to bite her elbows from her own shortsightedness: the amount offered by Ellen Weiss would more than compensate for any financial difficulties of a woman.

In an attempt to prevent this, Diamond Lee crossed breeds with each other. Siamese, Burmese and American shorthair cats have become worthy genetic material for further breeding of Cornish cats. This experiment led to minor changes in the appearance of the Rex, but at the same time gave them a huge variety of colors and colors. However, at present, crossing this breed with others is strictly prohibited.

In 1983, the largest teleological organizations officially registered the Cornish Rex. Now, this breed is gaining more and more popularity due to its sophisticated aristocratic image and inexhaustible love for its owners.
