Answer 1

adult Devons average six to nine pounds, , their fur ranging from an almost shaggy mop of loose curls in some to a thin suede-like coat. The coat may vary over the life of the cat, with some kittens dropping much of their coat ("molting") during their development, and some adult coats changing seasonally. Even though their body temperature is the same as other cats, many Devons are surprisingly warm to the touch due to a lighter, less insulating coat. Not surprisingly, Devons tend to be "heat seekers," and are often found lounging on televisions, computer monitors and heater vents. On chilly nights, Devons make superb bed warmers, often sneaking under the covers to stay warm and share body heat with their favorite people.

The Devon personality has been aptly described as a cross between a cat, a monkey, and "Dennis the Menace." Devons are highly active, playful and involved with everything. Powerful jumpers, very few spots large enough to hold them will not be explored and occupied. Devons have been found climbing brick fireplaces and perching on top of doors. Although little escapes a Devon's interest, Devons are very people-oriented. Most Devons invite themselves along for every activity -- preferably perched on a shoulder, lap, or wherever they can be closest to their people. They are accomplished food mooches, with "anything they aren't supposed to be into" only slightly less appealing than "anything you are eating." Many a bag of snack food left unattended for an eyeblink has suddenly sprouted two legs and a tail, with a Devon contentedly grazing inside.

they're large little cats. Mine is a rescue too - they do happen each so often. they're lively and athletic, very clingy and human beings orientated. and that they prefer to be heat - they have little or no fur, and almost no physique fats. assume yours to need to circulate slowly interior your sweatshirt and gown, and want to sleep below the covers with you. they gained't take "no" for an answer, Ocimom advantageous has it remarkable on that one! Mine is even clingier and greater needy than my Siamese.

Answer 3

The breed doesn't tend to matter, but make sure that you get one that doesn't even romotely look alike to another cat. Some cats are touchy on that. Don't have more than one male, even when fixed; they fight.
