Beds
Provide a comfortable sleeping area, cats like a place to curl up in sometimes to get away. Check pet stores or make a bed:
Feeding bowls
Safe Toys
Cat toys, like toys for small children, are wonderful amusements and should be chosen carefully.
Use these tips:
Avoid toys that have sharp edges or parts that your kitten might swallow.
Choose soft toys that bounce erratically (the more bounce, the better).
Beware of yarn and toys with strings. Yarn or string is dangerous if ingested. Supervise all play with these toys.
Easing The Transition
Introduce your cat to your home gradually by following these helpful hints:
Show your children how to properly pick up a kitten and how to play with their new pet. Teach them that cats don't like to be teased or have their ears or tail pulled. Always supervise your children's interaction with your new kitten, especially when they have friends over to play.

Cat Proofing Your Home

** We are now back to feeding our cats Purina One and Royal Canin dry food, adult and kitten, we tried feeding Evo "grain free" dry food but it did NOT agree with them, terrible tummy trouble, they are fine now back on Royal Canin.

Devons are energetic cats with great determination, a stubborn streak and great problem solving skills.
Most Devon Rex have hollow, brittle whiskers that easily break off so that only a portion of curly whiskers are left. This is normal.
Most Devon kittens molt,( lose their coat )between 5 and 10 week of age. This is normal and is a feature of some lines of Devon Rex. Molted kittens will regrow their coats from about 4 to 10 months of age. Kittens may become totally furless (fur just on legs face and tail) or just semi-molted (thinned fur) kittens will eventually develop soft, wavy coats. Some Devons will never have much hair on the top of thier heads :)
Ears in young Devon Rex may become very waxy; the wax is dark-brown in color. Gentle weekly ear cleaning is recommended. This is not earmites. at least in my cats it isnt.
Devons are extremely easy to groom. bathe every three to four months or as needed but not too often or you will dry out the coat. no need to brush or comb a Devon as you may break or pull out hair.
Our cats and kittens are very important to us and our kittens are loved, spoiled and socialized from birth.We occasionally have pet kittens available to loving homes.
If you are considering adding a Devon Rex cat to your family, please feel free to contact us. We look forword to speaking with you about these wonderful cats!
