🧰Accessories for a Devon Rex: the right picks at the right size
Devon Rex : A light cat sweater is useful in winter in cooler homes, and a self-warming bed (15 to 35 euros) rounds out its comfort. Choose soft accessories, as its skin is more exposed than that of a densely furred cat.
In short: Small cat (2.5 to 4.5 kg) with a short, sparse wavy coat and high energy. A little imp happy to perch on shoulders, playful, people-oriented and always hunting for a warm spot. Its sparse wavy coat gives little protection from cold: cosy beds near heat sources and temperate rooms are a must.
Bowls, fountain, feeder
On tableware: ceramic or stainless steel, wide shallow shapes that spare the whiskers, and a water point placed over a metre from the kibble bowl. The fountain remains the best value-for-money item in the cat aisle: a cat that drinks more is a urinary tract that fares better.
The extras that matter for a Devon Rex
a radiator hammock — its headquarters from October on; an H-harness in cat size to explore balcony or garden safely. Breed-by-breed detail lives on the full Devon Rex profile.
Starter budget
Expect €150 to 280 to equip a Devon Rex properly: cat tree, tray and litter, carrier, bowls and fountain, scratchers and first toys. One good tree and a large tray beat ten gadgets.
