A new Rex gene!
 The dense coat, with
fine structure and
double close-lying
waves was achieved
by generations of
inbreeding,
more-over this
structure is now
formed at a younger
age. The kittens of the
Ural rex have well
expressed
half-closed curl at
the age of 3-4
months, but it turns
into even waves
later by 6-7 months.
The development of
the colour of the
Ural Rex is also
very interesting.
The kitten hair has
grayish hue, then in
the period of the
first moult it is
very important to
groom the kittens
well because they
moult not well
enough and old grey
hair may remain for
a long time and it
surely influences
the quality of the
curl and
intensiveness of the
colour.
The coat of the
grown-up cats in
black and black
tabby colours is
oxidized easily and
after 2 years
acquires a brown hue
in black and bright
golden in black
tabby cats on a dark
background. This
must be taken
account with
judging.
Because of their
very short fur Ural
Rexes do not shed
much and require
little grooming. |
