They are much more soft. Most cats have 3 types of fur, outer guard hairs, a mid coat, and an inner down coat. Cornish Rex have a mutation that only gives them the curly down coat. They are incredibly soft, it's like petting the softest rabbit you can imagine.
So they're 2/3 of the way to being nudists like the Sphynx. I hope that thin layer of down keeps them warm enough, I always feel bad for Sphynxes having to wear sweaters and such.

What a great photo demonstrating artistic perspective. The hint of toe-bean beneath the paw, what a tease. 10/10.

I've never met a Cornish Rex, is their fur the same texture as a "normal" shorthair just shorter, or is it like wirey or something?

Exactly! They often get confused with sphynxes from a distance.

Aww, is your baby camera shy? It gives "creation of adam" vibes.

She'd loooove the comparison to God, I'm certain, but that photo was her threatening me º _ °

Your cat is giving a look like, "You about to catch these paws." What cute little toe beans.
