However, the cat has specific needs and requirements that you should provide to ensure its well-being and happiness. Here are some key aspects to consider when owning a Cornish Rex cat<strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Food &amp; Diet Requirements \ud83d\udc21<\/h3>\n<p>It is important to provide your cat with a balanced and nutritious diet.<\/p>\n<p>This cat has a faster metabolism rate than other breeds, such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.catster.com\/cat-breeds\/british-shorthair\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">British Shorthair<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.catster.com\/cat-breeds\/maine-coon\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">Maine Coon<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.catster.com\/cat-breeds\/ragdoll-cat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">Ragdoll<\/a>, so it may require a slightly higher caloric intake. Therefore, it is crucial to consider high-quality cat food specifically formulated for active cats or kittens.<\/p>\n<p>The food should provide nutrients, including proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals, to support their overall health and maintain their sleek coat. Consult a veterinarian for the appropriate portion sizes and feeding schedule based on your cat&#8217;s age, weight, and activity level.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_579203\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-579203\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-579203 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.catster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Cornish-Rex-brown-cat_Natalia-Fedosova_Shutterstock.jpg\" alt=\"Cornish Rex brown cat\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.catster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Cornish-Rex-brown-cat_Natalia-Fedosova_Shutterstock.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.catster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Cornish-Rex-brown-cat_Natalia-Fedosova_Shutterstock-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.catster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Cornish-Rex-brown-cat_Natalia-Fedosova_Shutterstock-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.catster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Cornish-Rex-brown-cat_Natalia-Fedosova_Shutterstock-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.catster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Cornish-Rex-brown-cat_Natalia-Fedosova_Shutterstock-250x167.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-579203\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image Credit: Natalia Fedosova, Shutterstock<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Exercise \ud83d\udc08<\/h3>\n<p>Cornish Rex cats are highly energetic and agile. Therefore, regular exercise is vital to keep them physically and mentally stimulated. It also prevents boredom and destructive behavior.<\/p>\n<p>Engage in interactive <a href=\"https:\/\/www.catster.com\/guides\/best-cat-toys\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">play sessions with toys<\/a>, encouraging them to chase, jump, and pounce. Toys such as feather wands, laser pointers, and puzzle toys can be great options to provide physical and mental enrichment. Also, provide ample vertical spaces, such as cat trees or shelves, for climbing and perching as these cats like high places.<\/p>\n<h3>Training \ud83e\uddf6<\/h3>\n<p>Cornish Rex cats are considered one of the most intelligent cat breeds.<\/p>\n<p>This means they are highly trainable. They respond well to positive reinforcement techniques, such as treats, praise, and play. However, it is important to start training early to establish good behaviors and teach basic commands like &#8220;sit&#8221; and &#8220;come.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Use interactive toys or puzzle feeders to stimulate and challenge their problem-solving skills mentally. Remember to be patient and consistent with training, focusing on rewards and encouragement rather than punishment.<\/p>\n<h3>Grooming \u2702\ufe0f<\/h3>\n<p>The Cornish Rex\u2019s unique coat requires special attention as the fur is prone to oiliness. Regular grooming is necessary to maintain its soft texture.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.catster.com\/gear\/best-cat-brush\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">Consider brushing them once or twice weekly<\/a> with a soft bristle brush or grooming glove to remove loose hair and distribute natural oils.

Unlike most cats with three layers of fur (guard, awn, and down), Cornish Rex cats have only the down hair. This mutation affects the structure of the hair shaft, resulting in its soft, wavy, and curly coat.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>2. They Have Highly Sensitive Whiskers<\/h3>\n<p>While all cats rely on their whiskers for sensory information, Cornish Rex cats have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.catster.com\/cat-guides\/cornish-rex-facts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">particularly sensitive whiskers<\/a>. Due to their fine and delicate hair, their whiskers can be more prone to damage or breakage. Handle them carefully and provide an environment that minimizes the risk of accidental damage to their sensitive whiskers.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>3.
