Devon Rex cats are becoming increasingly popular, but many myths have grown up around this exceptional breed and may mislead future owners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Here are the 20 most commonly repeated myths and the facts worth knowing so you can better understand these extraordinary cats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myth 1: Devon Rex are \u201chypoallergenic\u201d cats<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fact:<\/strong> Although some allergy sufferers tolerate Devon Rex cats better, no cat is completely hypoallergenic. Devon Rexes produce less of the Fel d 1 protein that triggers allergies, but this does not eliminate the risk of a reaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myth 2: Devon Rexes require frequent baths<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fact:<\/strong> Devon Rex does not need special baths unless skin problems occur. Grooming their short coat is minimal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myth 3: They are cats that require constant attention<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fact:<\/strong> Devon Rexes are sociable, but they can also occupy themselves. It is important to provide playtime for them, but not necessarily all the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myth 4: Devon Rex is not suitable for families with children<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fact:<\/strong> Devon Rexes often love playing with children. They are patient and sociable, which makes them an ideal choice for an energetic home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myth 5: They have poor health<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Myth 6: They do not like other animals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fact:<\/strong> That\u2019s a myth \u2013 Devon Rexes usually get along well with other cats and even dogs. They are sociable and open to others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myth 7: Devon Rex are \u201cloud\u201d cats<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fact:<\/strong> Every cat is different, but Devon Rexes tend to meow to communicate rather than to draw attention to themselves. Their \u201ctalkativeness\u201d often consists of gentle meowing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myth 8: They need a special diet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fact:<\/strong> Devon Rexes do not require a specialized diet, although it is always worth consulting a veterinarian and feline nutritionist to ensure their diet is properly balanced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myth 9: They are destructive when left alone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fact:<\/strong> Devon Rexes do not destroy things for no reason. If they have enough play and scratching posts, their energy will be put to good use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myth 10: These are cats that are hard to raise<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fact:<\/strong> Devon Rexes are intelligent and learn quickly. Raising them requires patience and consistency, but it is not exceptionally difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myth 11: They have appetite problems<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fact:<\/strong> Devon Rexes can have a healthy appetite, but their weight should be monitored to avoid obesity \u2013 as with any cat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myth 12: Devon Rex is a cross between a cat and a bat<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fact:<\/strong> Despite their large ears, Devon Rexes have nothing to do with bats! They are the result of a natural mutation that gave them their unique appearance, so loved by many people!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myth 13: Devon Rexes are a \u201cmodern\u201d breed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fact:<\/strong> Devon Rexes first appeared in the 1960s, so their history is not all that short.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myth 14: Their coat doesn\u2019t shed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fact:<\/strong> Devon Rexes do shed, although their short coat is less visible on furniture than that of other breeds. They do, however, have a normal shedding cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myth 15: They require very little care<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fact:<\/strong> Despite their low grooming needs, Devon Rexes require attention, play, and mental stimulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myth 16: They are suitable only for experienced owners<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Myth 17: Devon Rexes are \u201coutdoor\u201d cats<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fact:<\/strong> Many Devon Rexes go on walks with their owners (in a stroller or on a leash), but these are cats that should generally live in our homes or apartments. On their own, they are unlikely to cope outdoors (unlike, for example, mixed-breed cats).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myth 18: Devon Rex does not bond with people<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fact:<\/strong> Devon Rexes are very attached to their owners and love their company, sometimes even resembling dogs in how devoted they are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myth 19: Their ears require special care<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fact:<\/strong> Devon Rex ears need gentle cleaning from time to time, but it is not a complicated or time-consuming task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myth 20: It\u2019s a breed suitable for everyone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fact:<\/strong> Devon Rexes are ideal for active and sociable people. For people looking for a cat that keeps its distance, however, they may be too demanding.<\/p>\n\n\n
