Devon Rex cats are known for their curly, very soft short coat. They have a lightly built body type and their large, slightly rounded ears are set low on the sides of their wide heads. Their eyes are large, and their noses are slightly upturned. Unlike most cats, their whiskers are very short and often curled to such an extent that it may appear as if they have no whiskers. Their long, sturdy legs are well suited for long leaps, and their toes are unusually large.
