The "Peter Pan" of the cat world, this breed is renowned for its great personality. A gentle "hooligan", sweet natured, lively, playful, extremely friendly towards people and good with children. Highly intelligent with a more stable temperament than the Siamese, easily trained, very trusting and a great explorer, as mischievous at ten years old as it was at ten weeks. Afraid of very little and will give a grand welcome to human strangers but it can be reservedly territorial towards unfamiliar cats and other animals. The Burmese's trust, lack of fear and love of exploring can lead it into many dangers from ovens and washing machines to cars and roadways. Loves attention and company, without being too demanding. Hates being left alone for any length of time, but happy if it has another cat or a dog for company while its owner is at work.
Particularly intelligent, affectionate and fearless cats, Rexes have strong personalities, characterized by great independence of spirit. They are hardy, agile, and have a great sense of fun. A Rex enjoys its own company but can get on very well with other cats. However, it loves people and does not like to be left on its own for long. It is good natured, can be taught to walk on a lead, and is a good traveller. The Devon is particularly playful with a devilish sense of humour, and it is said to wag its tail like a dog when pleased. An outgoing and enterprising breed which make excellent pets for the whole family. Their fur tends to be low-allergenic, so they can often be tolerated by asthmatics & others who react adversely to cats.
