The Devon Rex is a truly unique cat in his appearance, with large almond shaped eyes set in a small, sculpted face, with a slightly snubbed, upturned nose and huge bat-like ears that sit low on the head.

The Devon Rex’s fur is short and wavy, the body muscular, trim and compact. The coat color can vary dramatically, with solid, bicolor, tricolor, tabby and other coat variations seen within the breed standard. Some have described the Devon Rex as “elfish” in appearance, while others insist the Devon Rex looks more like a bat or other creature of the night with its large eyes, tremendous ears on a small, delicate face.

I am pleased to announce that this blog has finally been upgraded to the latest Wordpress version 2.5 and now sports the latest “LVR” series network template design.

As this is a major upgrade to the MySQL database and many plugins were also updated, if you see anything “kooky” happening, please let me know in these comments.

In the meantime, I will be working on the archives in the background trying to make this a much better and user-friendly site, and if you have any suggestions, please feel free to contact me anytime.

Are you interested in finding a purebred cat? As you shop for your cat, you may notice the initials CFA in some advertisements. What exactly does this mean? CFA stands for the Cat Fancier’s Association, the largest purebred cat registry in the world. The CFA was created to maintain breed standards and register litters of purebred kittens. In addition, this association holds cat shows, where cats are judged to see how closely they adhere to their breed’s standard. The CFA recognizes only forty one breeds of cats.

When a breeder registers a litter of kittens with the Cat Fancier’s Association, he or she has the option of deciding that the kitten cannot be bred. Only cats with a pin number on their registration forms will be eligible to have their kittens registered. This allows the breeders to continue to better their breeds. Once the litter is registered, each kitten will need to be individually registered by its new owner.
