A photo.. to begin with (?)

I just found one of the first photos of Urd (my Devon Rex). Of course I can't be very NPOV about her, so I uploaded it, but I leave to others to judge and, in case, put it in the article. I can search thru my photo archive or even take specific photo of her, if needed (she's 7 years old now). --Lapo Luchini 13:30, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I'm going to add this picture to the breed table, until we have one of an adult. If you have any good pictures of her now, they would be very useful. Lachatdelarue (talk) 14:14, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Added an array of photos

Of my devons. If you want more, I have hundreds. Dmurawski 00:34, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Copy edit

I have done a brief copy edit of the page. I removed an unnecessary ref to the businesses selling these cats, as it was already referred to in the sentence, plus the individual naming of a cat in a caption. I also have no idea what is meant by this sentence:

Toe color varies from fur color to fur color.

so I have removed it. If a non-expert (such as me) doesn't understand what is meant, it should be rephrased. Can someone who knows what was meant re-phrase and reinsert? 86.133.246.184 22:16, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Another Devon Rex Photo

I have added a picture here of our Adult Female Devon Rex. She has sealpoint siamese markings. You can use it or delete it if you want.

Discrepancy in info provided re: Devon layers/types of hair

There's a discrepancy in the info on this page.

In "Discovering and Relations" it says that Devons have all three types of hair: "In the Devon Rex, all types of hair are present but are abnormal in texture." (which seems confirmed by the reference below), but then in "Role In Allergy Control" it says there's a missing layer: "It is true that their missing layer of hair..."

Is there someone who knows more about the breed who could fix the problem in the Allergy section?

On the CFA breed page (http://www.cfainc.org/breeds/profiles/articles/devon.html) it says: The Devon has all three types of coat hair; however, the guard hair is very sparse, short and rexed. It has a slightly denser texture and is thus responsible for the more open, billowing wave and the looser curl of the Devon coat.
