Genetic mutation can make possibilities happen. This is what happened with the undercoat of Cornish Rex. Because of genetic mutation, this breed only has a single undercoat. This event happened during the 1950s at a farm in Cornwall, United Kingdom.
The Cornish Rex comes in various colors that owners can choose from. Getting a blue or white one and any other color combinations are possible. Some patterns are rare to find and cost much. One example is the tortoiseshell pattern, which is mostly printed in females. There are some males with this print, but unfortunately, they are often sterile.
The dominance of female cats is also happening among Calico Cornish Rex. If you are planning to get a Cornish Rex cat, you should be ready with the commitment and responsibility that comes with it. Your decision should not only be based on the print of the cat’s fur. You should consider your capability to take care of one. Read more here.
