SHORT HAIRED CATS
DEVON REX
Coat Dense, very short and fine, forming waves
over the entire
body, with the exception of the head, legs and paws, where
the coat should resemble dense short plush. Whiskers and
eyebrows to be crinkled. All recognised coat colours and
coat patterns acceptable. 45
Head Face to be full-cheeked with considerable
width between
the eyes. Medium wedge with whisker break. Short muzzle.
Nose with a definite stopin profile. Forehead to slope back
to a flat skull. 10
Eyes Rather large. Almond-shaped with outer
corners pointing to
outer edges of ears. Colour in keeping with coat colour and
coat pattern, or chartreuse-green or yellow. 5
Ears Large, set rather low, great width at base
gradually tapering
to rounded tops. Well covered. Kittens may have ear muffs.
10
Body Body long and slender, hard and muscular,
medium in size.
Legs long and fine giving an overall appearance of being
high on the legs. Paws small and oval. Neck slender 25
Tail Long, fine and whiplike. 5
Faults - British type head, cobby body, small
ears. Lack of firm muscles.
Short tail. White mis-markings. Bareness to be considered
a fault,
but cats should not be penalised too heavily for this for
the time being.
Note- If all other points are equal, preference
should be given to the cat whose coat does not show white
hairs or markings other than those under coat.
