It was first discovered in Devon, England. Before the Devon Curlew appeared, the Cornish cat was found in the UK in Cones County, and the Cornish cat was also a curly-haired cat, so it was thought for a while that they were close relatives. However, later tests proved that they were not related, so people named this new curly-haired cat after the Devon Curly Cat.
In the seventh year after the discovery of the Devon curly cat, they were brought to the exhibition for display. Due to its unique large-eared appearance, the Devon Curl attracted attention as soon as it appeared, and many people became concerned about whether this cat was a relative, whether they could live peacefully with children or other animals at home, and whether it was easy to breed, and some even brought the Devon Curl directly into their own homes for breeding.
This disease is also known as familial paroxysmal hypokalemia multiple myopathy, which is a very harmful disease for cats. If owners find their cats suffering from this disease during the care process, they should take them to the vet for treatment in time. From the name we can first see the first morphological characteristic of the Devon Curly Cat - curly hair, their curly hair and less hair loss, so they are popular with many people who are sensitive to cat hair. In addition, the Devon Curly cat has another very obvious feature, their ears are very large, if the ears droop down, they can even completely cover their face, and it is because of their large ears that some people call them pixie cats. There are various coat colors and various fancy styles: white, blue, creamy yellow, silvery white tortoiseshell tiger spot, creamy yellow river white, white and dark gray black, red silvery white tiger spot, brown tiger spot, creamy yellow tiger spot accent color.
Because the Devon Curlew is so similar in appearance to the Cornish Cat, and because they are also from England, people often confuse them. However, even though they look like relatives, the genes that cause them to be curly are completely different, so even if the Devon Curly and the Cornys are mated, they will not produce a curly cat. It is not for nothing that the Devon Curly is popular with the public. In addition to the "big ears" and "curly hair" that we know so well, there is another important factor in their widespread acceptance -Family. The Devon Curly is very active and bold, and when they encounter humans, they do not run away like some cats, but prefer to come into contact with people.
Some Devon cats also have a little naughty character, when you play with them, they may inadvertently give you a little surprise, such as quietly patting you from the side, and then act as if nothing happened, etc.. If you ignore them for a long time, they will find things to do on their own. Jumping up and down, rummaging through the garbage cans, getting under the covers and hiding with themselves can be their entertainment, so the owner must arrange the items in the house and close the doors in the kitchen and bedroom.
When you are familiar with the Devonian, they will play with you more confidently and boldly, and will not be as sensitive and suspicious as other cats, so owners can play with them in different ways.
Since Devon cats are very intelligent, they are also very easy to train. They can realize that their owners have given them a name in a very short time, and they can quickly master some of the life skills they have been taught. Most importantly, the Devon curly cat is very obedient, which will make training much less difficult. However, owners must remember to reward their cats after they have completed their training!
In fact, the Devon Curly Cat also has an interesting name - a monkey in cat's skin, why? Technically speaking, the area near the owner's head is their favorite place, but when they are on the owner's shoulder, it is really hard to distinguish them from monkeys!
