Devon Rex Pros and Cons
📝 Summary
Devon Rex cats are pricey because they are rare and costly to breed, yet loved for looks and temperament. They are loyal, low-shedding, and smart, but very clingy and heat-sensitive, so they suit attentive, warm homes.
1 Devon Rex Pros and Cons
Devon Rex cats cost a lot, which surprises people. The price comes from rarity and breeding cost. Here is a closer look.
Why they are expensive
Devon Rex are pricey, with ordinary ones around 5000 yuan and fine ones 5000 to 8000; small shops rarely stock them, and only large catteries do. Rarity and high breeding cost keep prices high.
Pros and cons
Pros: cute and lively yet gentle, loyal, rarely aggressive, and great with old and young; after bonding they follow the owner everywhere and are very clingy, which can be a con if you dislike clinginess. Low shedding: little fur even in shedding season, easy care. Good looks: elf-like and pretty. Smart: learn commands and play fetch. Cons: lively but overly clingy, and without attention they may wreck the house; and cold-sensitive with weak cold tolerance, so keep them warm or they get sick.
That covers why Devon Rex are costly; learn their nature before keeping one.
