Just before Thanksgiving, I spent the weekend in St. Louis with my best friend, who has three wonderful cats...
Meshka (DSH),
Mowgli (Bengal),
and Pikey (Cornish Rex).
While I fell in love with all three, I espically loved Pikey. He would curl up on my legs to sleep every night and was just a huge cuddle bug. I have heard this is generally true of the Rex breeds, and that they are also hypo-allergenic ( the three days I spent there, none of the cats bothered my allergies).
I have also recently learned of 78 Cornish rexes that were seized in Marquette Michigan ( still about 9 hours from here). While some I have been adopted, others are still looking for homes. I am very much in the "kicking around the idea" stage...I haven't even mentioned this to Ralph...but IF I were to look into adopting a rex...I want to know what I am getting into. Anyone have any expereince with the breed? I know Pikey had some pretty bad UTI problems had had to have surgery to reconstruct, and correct his problem. Are UTI's common for this breed? Anyone have expereince introducing them to dogs?
