Devons are strange-looking little cats, adorable in a homely sort of way. They have high protruding cheekbones that make them look a little like E.T.

Devons have unusual heads and extraordinarily large ears. Their huge eyes are set wide apart, and they have outstanding cheekbones and short muzzles. Some Devons are more extreme and elf-like than others. Their bodies are slim and elegant. Their chests are so broad that their front legs looked bowed. Like Cornish Rexes, Devons have curly or rippling hair. However, the Devon's coat is softer and more velvet-like than the Cornish Rex's. Hair is usually sparse on the Devon's ears and forehead. Sometimes, these cats have little hair on their chests, necks, and stomachs. Their whiskers are short and brittle and break easily. Bald spots are common. Adult Devons shed much less than most cats. Devon Rexes come in most solid colors and patterns. The most common is solid white. Like the Cornish Rex, Devons can also have Siamese coloring.
