🧴Care & grooming for the Cornish Rex
Cornish Rex : Its tightly waved coat is maintained with a gentle hand or a soft rubber glove: firm brushing would damage this delicate fur. A slight excess of sebum can appear on the skin and in the ears, so keep an eye on it.
Brushes, hygiene products, parasite control, habitat upkeep: your cat’s routine care happens at home, with the right equipment. Our guides separate the essential from the gimmick — and say when the vet, not the shop aisle, should have the answer.
Litter is the most sensitive product in a cat household: substrate, box size and placement explain the vast majority of accidents.
