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.
