I've never met a Cornish Rex, is their fur the same texture as a "normal" shorthair just shorter, or is it like wirey or something?

They are much more soft. Most cats have 3 types of fur, outer guard hairs, a mid coat, and an inner down coat. Cornish Rex have a mutation that only gives them the curly down coat. They are incredibly soft, it's like petting the softest rabbit you can imagine.

So they're 2/3 of the way to being nudists like the Sphynx. I hope that thin layer of down keeps them warm enough, I always feel bad for Sphynxes having to wear sweaters and such.

Exactly! They often get confused with sphynxes from a distance.
