Title: Dexter Kitty
Post by: DexterKitty on July 10, 2008, 22:21:06 PM
I thought I'd share some photos of my gorgeous kitten, Dexter. He's such a character - tears around the house at a million miles an hour... plays endlessly with PENS or anything straight lol.

Being silly on the floor...

On his scratching tree...

He's a Devon Rex - and a very typical one at that, with energy surplus!

He's beautiful.  Rex's are wonderful ... very mischievous, very people orientated and completely nuts!  You will never have a dull moment with a Rex in your life.

I hope you aren't living in Brisbane (otherwise I might end up catnapping him the next time I'm over there  :evillaugh: :evillaugh: )

I'm in regional Victoria - phew! Though I've already had a few threats from people to keep my doors locked or they'd steal him!

umm completely wrong side of the country ... never mind ... looks like Dexter won't be coming back to the UK with me  :'(

Is Dexter your only furbabe?  Have you had cats before?  what attracted you to the Rex's.  Sorry for all the questions (I'm dead nosey  ;) )

 :Hello: and    :welcome:  to the forum


My stepson Andrew is in Brisbane but no doubt you have seen him down the pub

I absolutely adore your piggies - there are a few of us on this site that have guinea pigs.  Your Trouble looks just like my Rodent and your Spicy looks just like my Ginger Snaps.

Here is a fairly recent story of mine:

Dexter is adorable.

If you go into Dexter Kitty's profile and log onto the website "Hey Pig!" and then look at My Pigs - there are lots of gorgeous piggies

Yes, I used to have Guinea Pigs! I actually was referred by some friends on a Guinea Pig forum that I moderate. I used to have a 5 year old piggie left from my original herd, but I gave him to my Dad to look after as he has other boys to keep him company. So currently I have no Guinea Pigs.

I have never owned cats before Dexter, and currently he's my only cat. My boyfriend (that I live with) has a 2 year old Husky/Collie Mix dog who is just lovely. My boyfriend actually got me a pure Husky pup about 6 months ago, but 3 months ago she had to be pts due to congenital problems we hadn't known of before we got her.

What drew me to the Rex? When I was about 13 or 14 I was watching a Vet show in Australia called "Harry's Practice" which did a special on Devon Rex cats. When I was 18 I boarded for two years with a family that had four cats and I fell in love! Before this I had never really been a cat person. And to put that in perspective, I'm now 3 weeks shy of turning 21.

I had wanted a cat before Pepper passed away, but was holding off because I felt we had enough with two dogs. When she passed away I researched about the Rex cats and came across Dexter, and felt he was perfect. I can't deal with the hair from most animals indoors, and the fact that Dexter sheds next to nothing is perfect. He's also got a vibrant, outgoing personality - he wags his tail like a dog and loves to be around you. He is a happy indoors only cat, and Sooty (our dog) is a happy outdoors dog.
