The Cornish Rex is the result of the mutation that occurred from a litter of kittens where one of the kittens, a male had an extremely unusual fine and curly coat; he was the first Cornish Rex. The owner soon realized that it is occurred due to mutation and soon the male grew up and was able to mate it was cross breed with the mother and hence produced two more such kittens. Later it was bred with the Siamese and this where they got the long tails and ears from.

Cornish rex only has undercoat they have fur that is curled the more it is rubbed the tighter the curl gets. They have no hair except for the down hair; the undercoat which means that they are best suited for indoor living in warm and dry conditions.

They also can go along very well with other pets or animals either new one or regular, be it either dog, cats, parrots, birds or rabbits it has no problem with any one in fact they would actively like to play with them. If they are provided an option they will choose to play and spend time with the humans; at the time of their sleep you are likely going to find them in the bed primary reason is to get to a warmer place but there are certain other places to go to but the human bonding has a lot to do with it.
