This diminutive cat, generally considered the smallest cat breed, matures to a weight of 4 to 8 pounds.
These cats have a naturally occurring genetic mutation that causes their legs to be shortened.
The Cornish rex's long legs and angular features may give the impression that this cat is larger than it actually is.
Physical characteristics include short, tight, curly hair, a triangular cranium, and large, widely spaced ears.
The Devon rex is also known as a "pixie cat," so it should come as no surprise that this species is included on the list of small cat breeds.
Fine to moderate bone structure, broad thorax, and triangular head; soft, thin, curly coat.
