You can easily distinguish a Devon Rex by their distinct appearance–their curly and sparse hair coat. This trait is due to having a recessive gene. It is also because of this trait that they require special grooming since these hairs are really fragile and brushing them could lead to their hair breaking. The glands on their skin also secrete oils that make their hair coat greasy. Skin oils are an important part of maintaining the integrity and health of their hair coat and skin. For most cats, these oils are spread evenly throughout their hair coat thus they do not look as greasy as a Devon Rex. Devon Rex cats have a thin hair coat that causes the oils to accumulate on their skin surface. The nail beds could also look greasy due to this. If you do not groom them regularly, this grease can transfer on your furniture, carpet, bed, or anything that your cat comes in contact with.
Any sign of illness exhibited by your pet should require a visit to your vet clinic Fredericksburg TX.
