Rex cat

A rex cat is any of a number of different domestic cat breeds, distinguished by short, wavy fur, with little in the way of an outer coat. The breeds originate from naturally occurring genetic mutations, which have since been selectively bred. There are four main recognised rex breeds:
The LaPerm is also sometimes considered a rex. Though the breeds look similar and are generally grouped together for show purposes, each results from a separate mutation rather than being bred from a common ancestor.
