Rex - the cat in sheep's clothing

At the beginning of the seventies to an average of Bohemia and lover of cats to attend foreign exhibitions in neighboring East Germany. However, even those cat shows to us were very interesting. From the catalog Siegeraustellung der DDR, Leipzig 1972, I vycetl many zajimaveho.Teto international exhibition was attended by several Czechs.

As assessors now forgotten Dr. Hoffmanova. RNDr. Albert Pinter, Jitka Kytlerova and Bohumir Mahelka as assessors and students as helpers assessors Jirina Holasova from Prague and Brno Zdenek Gorgona. Keepers of the former Czechoslovakia have performed particularly persanky, siamky and cats Kartouzska and European. There were about thirty.

Never forget telnateho and dobromyslneho German Klaus Barensfelda assessor, which I have assisted in assessing kratkosrstych cats. He was an expert on Rex. His German cattery vom Grund rexu was known in our country.Then at the exhibition in Leipzig, I saw the first German Rex.

German Rex from Moravia?

Karel Trojan Cat witnesses in his book on Nieco mackach (1980) writes: The first cat is a special short hair I have seen already in 1936 in Moravia, near the border in Drahotusicich. There is throughout the village were kratkosrste cats with kudrnatou hair, which people think they are mangy. Then I managed to get two pairs of these prasivych cats. Genetically I stepily the different colors and has always been in the litter at least one baby with normal hair. For strakatych color white hair, she impression that it is still less than other hair colors. Overall, the coat looked like schodovita. The kittens were not too vital, and preferred to keep at home.For the event of war I had to leave this breed. Similar to my cats I saw in the GDR. That the German Rex originated in Moravia? But the Germans then odvazeli all interesting and rare animals in the Reich.

There is evidence that after the Second World War, the first cat is rolling hair appeared normal in the population of cats in the area of the Berlin hospital. This genetic mutation was described in 1946 in science journal Nature. As a separate breed called the German Rex cats were recognized in 1951.
