A Black Devon Rex Posed on the Clean Bed. It Was Not Clean for Long.
The big ears and shiny black coat of the Devon Rex stand out sharply against a white bedspread covered in muddy paw prints. She sits perfectly upright in the middle of the bed, with her front paws darkened by mud and her copper eyes looking right at the camera. Muddy streaks and neat little prints trail across the comforter in every direction, and a faint smile seems to curl on her face. Behind her are a bedside table with a glass of water, a plate, and a tangle of cords, and a pile of clothes sits nearby.
Devon Rex cats are known for their curly, short coats and big, bat-like ears. They are active, affectionate, and very people-oriented, and they like to be involved in whatever their family is doing. A cat that has been outside or in a muddy place can easily track dirt onto beds and sofas, so a quick wipe of the paws at the door helps, and indoor cats can be kept clean with pet-safe wipes. Because Devon Rex coats are thin, they can feel the cold, so a warm bed is especially welcome. Talk to your vet about grooming and care.
There is something elegant about the way she sits there, as if the paw prints were part of the decor. A smile and a straight back can make even a muddy bed look like a statement. The laundry will be busy tonight, but the little black cat looks quite pleased with the afternoon.
