A recessive autosomal gene for Onion hair which causes roughness and swelling on the hairs. The swelling is due to enlargement of the inner core of medulla cells. A recessive autosomal gene spf for sparse fur. As well as sparse coat, the hairs are thin, straggly and contorted and there is brown exudate around the eyes and nose and on the chest ...
Mild RH can cause the post-axial form of polydactyly – enlarged paws, extra three-jointed toes on the outer, little-toe side of the paws, and no thumb. [8] X-rays can determine the structure of the extra toes and whether the cat has the gene for RH. Cats with the gene for RH should never be bred.
The fur was different from the Devon Rex and the cat was to have been test-mated to a Cornish Rex. The outcome of test-matings appears not to have been recorded. 1979: Sieburg Rex. A spontaneously occurring rex-coated bicolour male cat originally named Pushkin, and later renamed Kater Preu, was used in the German Rex breeding programme.
One of the polydactyl cats at the Ernest Hemingway House in Key West, Florida.This particular cat has seven (two extra) toes on each paw. A polydactyl cat is a cat with a congenital physical anomaly called polydactyly (also known as polydactylism or hyperdactyly), which causes the cat to be born with more than the usual number of toes on one or more of its paws.
The Sphynx cat (pronounced SFINKS, / ˈ s f ɪ ŋ k s /) also known as the Canadian Sphynx, is a breed of cat known for its lack of fur.Hairlessness in cats is a naturally occurring genetic mutation, and the Sphynx was developed through selective breeding of these animals, starting in the 1960s.
Other research [3] suggested that pleiotropic change in neural crest cell regulating genes was the common cause of shared traits seen in many domesticated animal species. However, several recent publications have either questioned this neural crest cell explanation [ 4 ] [ 11 ] [ 10 ] or cast doubt on the existence of domestication syndrome ...

The lower quality hair is sometimes used for felt. In temperate climates, the highest quality furs are obtained in winter from rabbits over five months old, when the thickness of the fur is even; at other times of year, varying degrees of hair shedding causes uneven patches in the fur. The coat is also at its thickest at this time of year.
