Kinky the Purple Cat: A Cornish Rex Living in the States
Cheerio! Here you will find all kinds of information about Cornish Rex cats which hail from England. Everything is from Kinky's point of view including her story. If you have any questions or comments, please ask your human to e-mail Kinky or Sign the Guestbook. Thank you!
My story starts in England with my ancestors and ends here in Maine, USA. My ancestors were born around 1950 in Cornwall, England. Supposedly, the first litter of Cornish Rex developed due to a mutated gene. My parents are from the Chicago, IL area in the USA. I was at a cat show there, when I met my human "grandmother". She was my first human "mother". She took me home with her and I grew up with her other pets. My housemates were a little long-haired Chihuaha, Cujo, a German Rottweiler, Grizzly and another cat, Autumn. The dogs were the typical dogs. I had to smack them around a bit, when they got a little too close, but other than that, they were very amusing. I have found my humans to be very entertaining as well. My first human "mother" let me live with her son and his girlfriend. I went from a house with two dogs and another cat, to a home all my own! Man, did I have them whipped! They "spoiled" me, as they said, which is what they should do. We moved a bit, so I've had an opportunity to go walking out in the country and in town.
I now live with one of those humans, my "mom", who is now not only my handler but also my "owner"! She never stops taking photos of me! We live in a rural area so I get to go walking a lot in the summer. Now I live in a two-story house with stairs! I LOVE stairs. My human thinks it's funny how I run up and down the stairs. She says I sound like a horse when I come running downstairs. *sigh* I'm a cat, not a horse! It looks like I'm the only Cornish Rex around here. We've seen plenty of dogs and cats, but I'm definitely one of a kind in this part of Maine.
My human decided to do an official Christmas photo this year. She made me wear a stupid hat which I do NOT like at all! I look so undignified, as you can tell from my expression. Thank goodness the photos only took a couple of minutes. I couldn't take it anymore! Between the hat and my human's hair, I felt strangled. My human thinks it's cute, however I do not. The things humans do to us at Christmas.... geesh!

More to come...
The computer monitors are a great place to sleep. May not be very comfy, but toasty warm!
Cat Nip - one of the greatest herbs on the planet!
I keep my humans in line - giving hugs and kisses before they leave the house and as soon as they walk in the door.
Training humans to fetch is practically impossible. *sigh*
Christmas can be great for receiving presents. Christmas photos are NOT fun!
To see all photos, please go to my photo album.
