The Cornish Rex was created on accident in Cornwall, England, from a genetic disorder in a litter of farmhouse kittens.

My Experience With Cornish Rex

My mom was able to get Cornish Rex from one of her friends she made at a cat show. We currently have one who is a complete dork. His name is Cosmo and when he walks, he waddles.
