For the record, this is not my cat. he just has the perfect toe beans.
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.
