The product of a different gene mutation, this curiy-coated cat appeared about ten years after its Cornish cousin. It is said to have resuited from a cross between a curled-coated feral male and a stray British straight-haired female. The gene for a curly coat is recessive and inbreeding became necessary in order to continue the breed. The slightly ‘clownish’ look of this cat is matched by its clumsy and amusing outlook on life. A new American breed, known as the poodle, has been developed from crossmatings between Devon Rex and Scottish Fold cats. This combines the curly coat with the folded ears, to produce a rather comical-looking cat.
