German Rex
What can we say about this cat’s unique appearance? Their woolly fur makes them look like a lamb. Like the Laperm breed, the German Rex is the result of a genetic mutation. They are, as their name indicates, part of the Rex family and it’s difficult for the untrained eye to differentiate them from the Cornish, Devon or Laperm because of the great similarity between these varieties. The main differences are in the guard coat and the down coat. GCCF compares the morphology of the German Rex with that of the European Shorthair. In short, these cats are truly beautiful and even though they are rare, they will no doubt grow to be well-known eventually.
