All about Ural Rex cats

History of the Ural Rex breed

The Ural Rex is a rare breed of naturally occurring curly-haired cat. Despite the fact that these cats are classified as Rex cats because of their curly hair, they are still very different from other cats with wavy hair.

The Ural Rex is a native breed

The homeland of Rex cats is the Urals. The first mentions of Russian curly cats were found back in the forties of the last century. It is believed that the founder of the breed is the cat Vaska (black bicolor) from the city of Zarechny, Sverdlovsk region. He was born in 1988 and laid the foundation for the Ural Rex breed known to everyone today. Russian rexes were first presented in 1992 at a cat exhibition held in Yekaterinburg.

Breeders tried to improve the breed by crossing Uralians with Bohemian Rexes and Cornishes. However, the experimental kittens were born with straight hair. So it became clear that all “curl” genes are different.

In 1994, some felinological organizations adopted a preliminary standard. However, official recognition by the international WCF system for the Ural Rex came only in 2006. In 2012, the standard was revised, and now the breed is recognized by the Russian felinological system of MFA. But despite the fact that many breeders, including foreign ones, are trying to develop these rexes (there are large official nurseries in Dortmund and Dresden in Germany), the Ural rexes are still considered rare cats.

History of the origin of the breed

The origin of the breed begins in the Urals. The initial mentions of the Ural Rex breed can be found in sources from the forties of the twentieth century. Presumably, the breed originates from the black bicolor Vaska from the city of Zarechny in the Sverdlovsk region.

He was born in 1988, marking the beginning of the well-known breed of kittens. Rexes were first shown in 1992 at a cat show in Yekaterinburg.

Interesting information! Breeders tried to make the breed more perfect by crossing Uralians with Cornish and Bohemian Rex. However, the result was the birth of kittens with straight hair. It became obvious that the genes for curliness are different.

Since 1994, some organizations have created a preliminary breed standard, which helps identify the Ural kitten. However, official recognition for Ural Rex kittens came only in 2006. A revision of the standard came in 2012. From this moment on, the breed is also recognized by the IFA system of felinology in Russia.

Some breeders, including foreign ones, continue to develop this breed. There are licensed nurseries in Dortmund and Dresden. But despite this, the Ural Rex is considered a domestic cat breed.

Description of the breed

Ural rexes are medium-sized cats. But Ural cats are somewhat larger than ordinary domestic cats. Males are larger than females; they can weigh more than 6 kg. Smaller cats - up to 4 kg.

Appearance

Russian rexes have an unusual body shape. The body of these cats is short, but slender and at the same time muscular. The head is wedge-shaped, the forehead is flat and wide, the profile is slightly curved. The Rex's cheekbones are convex, its muzzle is plump, and its chin is strong and powerful.

The high-set triangular ears have rounded tips. The eyes of the Urals are large, slightly slanted, but oval in shape. Eye color usually matches the base color. Curly-haired cats have medium-length and slender limbs, and their paws are oval and neat. The cat's tail is of normal length.

Surprisingly, the tail is not widened at the base, and its tip is rounded.

The curly fur of the Uralians is short, but silky and soft, at the same time thick and curly. There are waves all over the body and on the tail. The peculiarity of the Ural curl is that the curls on the coat of these cats are very elastic. Some cats have a small mane. Curly-haired cats can have any color (all solid colors, bicolor, tortoiseshell, tabby, color-point and their combinations).

Personality of a curly cat

Ural rexes are pleasant to talk to due to their gentle nature. They are affectionate and sociable, and besides, these cats subtly sense the mood of the owner. If such a cat understands that its owner is “out of sorts,” then the pet will do everything possible to correct it. Rexes become very attached to their people and try their best not to upset or offend a person. The more the owner loves and caresses his curly pet, the more the cat will reciprocate.

Unlike most human-dependent cats, the Ural Rex is distinguished by its patience and peaceful character. He can be in the company of small children and other animals for a long time.

These are wise cats that can be called playful and active. But if the owner wants peace, the rex will not impose his desire to play on him. Of course, a curly cat loves to be next to its owner, lie on his bed, and fall asleep in his arms. These cats love to be petted; they have a hard time withstanding loneliness. Left alone, this cat can suffer.

Owners of Ural Rex cats quickly get used to the cats’ affectionate nature.

Usually the Ural Rex becomes a full-fledged member of the family. The cat devotes his entire life to his person. A loving pet will not wake up its owner in the morning because of the desire to eat; it will patiently protect its owner’s sleep and wait for his awakening. My cat cannot boast of such qualities. She comes to my bed and starts waking me up with her purring exactly at the moment when the alarm clock starts ringing.

Interesting facts about the breed

The fur of the Ural Rex has some differences compared to other similar breeds. The result was achieved thanks to long-term inbreeding. Moreover, they appear much earlier. At 4 months, large curls begin to appear, curly waves are fully formed by 7 months.

The color also has a curious development. Kittens' coats are often grayish in color, which with normal care will disappear with the next molt. The black color quickly acidifies and after 2 years it becomes tinged with brown flowers.

The Ural Rex is a very interesting and unusual breed. Due to the peculiarities of their character and structure, they are ideal for both single people and couples with children. They will not bother a person if he is very busy, but at the same time there is no need to leave them alone, they do not like this and are able to quickly withdraw into themselves.

There are no special care or health recommendations. It is enough to keep your pet’s health under control, carry out cosmetic and water procedures in a timely manner and follow the recommendations for caring for pets.

Moreover, the relatively low cost of the Ural Rex makes it an optimal pet both for home use and for performing at various shows and exhibitions. The Ural Rex cat is a very devoted and loving pet that will definitely decorate your life and will delight you for many years. It is worth purchasing Uralians in specialized nurseries, where there are all the necessary documents along with the pedigree of the Uralian. This way you can avoid problems with kittens and their health, especially if you have the appropriate certificates.

Purchasing a kitten

Buying a Ural Rex kitten in Russia is quite simple. But, like other representatives of rex breeds, Uralians are relatively expensive. The exact cost of a kitten depends on the age, gender, appearance and class of the animal. A kitten for the “soul” (pet class) will cost over 15,000 rubles. A cat for future breeding (breeding class) will cost up to 50 thousand rubles, and for a future champion and title holder you will have to pay more than 50 thousand rubles.

To buy a good Ural kitten, you need to contact only specialized nurseries. The best cattery is an organization that breeds only one breed (even if the entire cattery consists of just one cat). If cats of several breeds are bred in one place, then most likely the goal of these people is to sell kittens that are similar to purebred ones.

The price of a kitten depends on several criteria: class, age, gender

How to choose a good kitten

When choosing a kitten in a nursery, you need to be guided by several criteria:

• appearance (the animal must be neat and well-groomed, without visible wounds, scratches, discharge from the eyes or nose);
• absence of skin parasites (you can part the fur with your fingers; there should be no fleas or their excrement on the skin and fur);
• the kitten’s behavior (the baby should be cheerful, moderately active and friendly);
• availability of documents (the animal must have a veterinary passport indicating all vaccinations: against calcivirosis, panleukemia, etc., as well as a pedigree);
• breed characteristics.

It is believed that all little kittens are alike, but you must be sure that you choose a real Rex. Even the smallest Uralian should show signs of the breed . These kittens are born already curly, however, the curly hair forms into even waves by six months. At the same time, the guard hairs remain soft to the touch (as if thinned). The fur of kittens has a grayish, gray tint. Later, the rex's fur will oxidize and take on a golden hue (especially in black and red rexes).

The Rex kitten has a well-defined cranial part of the head, the eyes are bulging and widely set, and the nose is wide. The kitten's muzzle is an inverted triangle; the high cheekbones are especially visible. Otherwise, the body of the little Uralian differs little from the constitution of representatives of other breeds.

Suitable age to purchase

Many people want to adopt a very young kitten, but few dare to tear the baby away from the mother cat. Next to its mother, the kitten feels protected. The cat feeds it, and with colostrum the kitten receives primary immunity. A baby who is separated from a cat too early may be mentally vulnerable, ill, and have behavioral problems. Such animals can damage furniture, walk past the litter box, and generally disobey their owner.

The kitten tries to imitate its mother in everything, which is why it is so important to let the kitten learn all the skills from the cat. This is necessary so that the animal begins to eat properly, go to the litter box, and communicate with its relatives. Only by two months does the kitten begin to sense moderation in play, controlling the force of its bites and not scratching its comrades.

At about 2 months, the primary immunity received by the kitten from its mother begins to decline. At this time, they begin to prepare the baby for the first vaccination. Kittens are not vaccinated until they are 3 months old, and if they are brought into a new home without immunity, the baby runs the risk of getting sick. In unusual conditions, the animal’s body can be attacked by viruses and infections. There was a case in my family when we had to take in a very small kitten who was left without a mother. He fell ill, suddenly began to feel unwell and took ill. Of course, we immediately called the vet, but the cat died anyway. The veterinarian said the cause of death was distemper.

You cannot separate a kitten from its mother until it is 3 months old.

Contents of the Ural Rex

Ural rexes are unpretentious in their maintenance, but they will be grateful for your care.

The Ural Rex requires the same care as most other cats.

These cats love houses very much, so the owner of a curly-haired pet should think about this in advance. The house should be cozy and comfortable. Unlike most other cats, the Ural does not need an observation deck, but a kind of nest. Therefore, the main requirement for a sleeping place is comfort. The cat will also need the following things:

• scratching post and nail clipper;

  A scratching post with secluded houses is ideal for the Ural Rex

• 2 bowls for food and 1 for water;
• toys (preferably more);
• cotton swabs and cotton pads;
• toothbrush and special toothpaste for cats;
• combs, massage mitten;
• tray and filler.

Nutrition

The Ural cat is also unpretentious in nutrition, but the owner must remember the basic rules for feeding purebred cats. Rexes are usually fed store-bought dry food or natural food. Industrial food is already properly balanced, but in the case of homemade food, the cat owner will have to monitor the balance. Homemade food is not the same as food from the master's table; you need to prepare it separately for your cat.

In fact, these cats have a great appetite, but they are not prone to overeating. The main thing is that the food consists of at least 1/3 of protein products and another 1/3 of cereals, the rest is vegetables and fruits. In this case, the cat will receive all the necessary trace elements and minerals.

Composition of natural food

Rex's menu should be varied. When preparing food, you need to use only fresh and healthy products:

• meat (beef, chicken, offal) boiled or raw after freezing;
• vegetables and fruits in any form;
• cereals and cereals (any except corn and legumes);
• fermented milk products (any low-fat, non-acidic);
• eggs (chicken or quail - yolks only);
• fish (only sea, boiled) - in small quantities once a week.

In order for the Ural cat to remain beautiful and healthy, food for it must be prepared only from good products

A single serving should fit into a medium food bowl. Rex may ask for more, but it's not because he's hungry. If the owner thinks that the cat is not getting enough to eat, then he can grow a “supplement” in the form of cat grass. It is inexpensive and healthy, since the grass contains a lot of fiber, it cleanses the digestive tract of ingested hair. In addition, most cats love this grass. I grow this kind of grass right on the windowsill. My cat knows where the pot with these greens is, and eats it when she sees fit.

The following should be excluded from the animal’s diet:

• everything spicy, fried, salted and seasoned - such foods are harmful to cats, so it is better not to give food from your table to your cat at all;
• everything is sweet, as sugar can accumulate in the blood, causing diabetes, and sweets are bad for your teeth.

Some give cats butter to make their fur shine better, but this is also better not to do. Butter contains a lot of fat, which can cause serious digestive problems. It is better to buy special vitamins for cats, for example, with fish oil.

How many times a day should you feed your pet?

Once you bring home your little rex, you can feed him according to the schedule he was used to in the nursery. Typically, three-month-old kittens are fed 5 times a day. From six months you need to switch to four meals a day. By 9 months, the number of feedings should be reduced to 3 times a day, and the pet should be switched to “adult” mode by the age of one year. From 12 months, cats should eat 2 times a day. The exception is sick or pregnant cats: weakened animals usually eat less, and pregnant ones - more. But in any case, there is no need to overfeed the animal; it is better to increase the number of feedings and make smaller portions.

Regardless of a cat’s personal preferences, it is not recommended to overfeed it.

Rex grooming

In fact, curly-haired Ural cats do not require any special care. The owner of the rex just needs to follow the general rules:

• wipe the animal’s eyes every day (if necessary);
• Clean your pet's ears once a week;
• regularly examine and brush your cat’s teeth (for example, once a month);
• trim the claws (transparent tip of the claw) once every 2 weeks;
• comb and bathe your pet.

Russian curly cats were not spoiled by human attention, so nature taught them to take care of their appearance on their own. This cat can handle most tasks on its own. The owner only needs to monitor this process and help if necessary.

If the owner of a Rex considers it necessary to help the pet, but the cat is not giving in, you can always contact a veterinary clinic. For example, if a cat’s ears are very dirty, but she does not allow her owner to approach them. Perhaps the animal is experiencing some discomfort or pain. And the veterinarian will help you quickly and painlessly carry out the hygiene procedure. In addition, the specialist will recommend treatment, if necessary. Donut (my sister’s cat) won’t let you brush his teeth because he’s terrified of a toothbrush. He is taken to the vet every few months. For some reason, in the clinic, Donut becomes quiet and calm, opens his mouth easily and does not try to escape.

Ural rexes take care of their appearance themselves, but the owner must help the pet if necessary

Brushing and bathing

The peculiarity of curly hair is that when it sheds, the hairs cannot fall out on their own; they get stuck in the curls. Because of this, there is practically no Rex hair in the apartment, except perhaps on the cat's pillow. Therefore, some people consider Uralians to be hypoallergenic, despite their thick hair. However, you still need to comb your cat, because otherwise she will have to lick the fallen fur, and all these hairs will end up in the animal’s stomach. Typically, Rexes are brushed once a week, and during the molting period - 3 times a week.

To add shine to the fur, rub it with a suede or flannel cloth along the hair growth so as not to hurt the cat. I smooth my cat with a massage mitten. The animal likes this procedure, the fur becomes smooth and shiny, and excess hairs stick to the silicone teeth of the mitten.

But bathing rexes is not recommended. The fact is that these cats have very delicate skin, which can become dry due to detergents. In general, the Rex will not get very dirty; it is a clean cat. Many rexes are happy to go into the water, without fear of getting their paws wet. Before the exhibition, the Rex can be bathed, but this must be done carefully, using only gentle products intended for cats.

It is best to carry out water treatments a couple of weeks before the event, otherwise the coat will not have time to return to its normal appearance and will appear dull and too “fluffy”.

Ural rex

Ekaterina Bogush-Vishnevskaya (owner)

Ural Rex .. I want to share my impressions about this breed. I learned about the breed in 2013, when I was looking for a kitten for a family. Mandatory criteria are a minimum of fur (a child was planned), an affectionate, calm, child-loving cat. I found information about Ural rexes on the Internet. A couple of months later, Nicholas appeared in our family...

The kitten is fantastic! At first he resembled (both in appearance and in behavior) an alien studying Earthlings, curious, but quiet, with a scratching post and a tray - no problem.

The cat is sociable, affectionate (as soon as you sit down, he immediately climbs into your arms, loves to sleep in bed under a blanket), loves children and enjoys playing with them, there is no fur in the house, he sits calmly in the car. Over the years of “living together” I have not found any disadvantages in this breed. Curly is my purr and I am sure that this opinion will be shared by everyone who had the good fortune to live next to them)).

Maria Frolovskaya (owner)

Finally I became the happy owner of a wonderful Ural Uex cat. The long story of searching for my cat, as if by magic, led me to the Urals and then to Olga! And probably, thanks to this magic, it turned out like in a fairy tale.

Mocha is the most affectionate cat that lived in the house or met. I quickly realized where the adult litter box was, and already on the second day I got used to the dog and the older cat (the latter took longer to get used to). The cat is amazing, I don’t know how I lived without her. Smart beauty. Purr from tip of nose to tail. Climbs into your arms, sleeps next to you or at your feet. The affectionate animal was so missing!

Wool is a completely different matter! Super soft and cool. When friends ask me to describe it, I can’t find words for it, it’s easier to just touch it once! I bought a cat blindly, not knowing the breed. But after talking with Olga, I realized that this was what I had been looking for for so long. I searched and found it. The pet is still 3 months old and, I believe, great things await!

Thanks again to Olga for this miracle and help

Darina Romanova (owner)

We adopted a Ural Rex kitten six months ago. During this time, he became a full member of the family! The cat is social - we do it together: he walks on a leash (and without it he would follow us, but we are afraid of cars and dogs), sleeps on a pillow, eats when there is a meal in the family and will not allow it any other way. Playful and affectionate. And the beautiful soft wavy coat and intelligent look captivate.

And also eyes of different colors - green and blue. We have never regretted our choice, the Urals are purring cats! Love forever! I recommend it to those who hate wool around the house. Of course, the hair comes out, how could it be otherwise, but it’s so small - it doesn’t lie on the floor or furniture, and most importantly, the hair is so thin - look for it on clothes with a magnifying glass. But when you comb it during the molting period, there is, of course, a lot of hair on the comb and where it sleeps it is a little shaggy. Thanks to Olga and the Uralochka nursery!

If you decide to get an astrakhan pet, then you should first get an idea of ​​the character of a particular breed. Representatives of one breed are calm and domestic, while others are active. For example.. The Ural Rex is that very domestic.. affectionate and tame purr. Cornish Rex is agile and mischievous.

The Ural Rex is warm and cozy. The owner loves to spend his free time with the pet, stroking its silky coat and listening to the grateful purr in response.

Whichever breed of Karakul we didn’t settle on – each one is unique, interesting and original.

Defects of the Ural breed

Ural cats have excellent health; no specific diseases have been found in them. But any cat can get sick with ordinary cat disease, so you need to remember to prevent worms and fleas. You also need to remember about vaccination. The owner of a Ural cat must protect his pet from various risks, for example, drafts, cold or too frequent bathing. A properly cared for Ural cat will live up to 15 years.

The owner of the Rex may forget about some vaccinations, so you need to get into the habit of regular visits to the veterinarian. You can ask your veterinarian to schedule your vaccinations. The resulting memo should be stored, for example, in the cat’s first aid kit, as I did. You can also ask your veterinarian to remind you about preventive examinations.

Curly-haired Ural cats do not have congenital pathologies, so only a deviation from the standard can be called a defect in appearance:

• hair too straight;
• large or too small ears;
• wide base of the tail;
• long and thin or short and thick body;
• short legs, etc.

The same defects that are unacceptable for other cats can lead to disqualification at exhibitions and shows:

• incorrect number of toes;
• malocclusion;
• tail defects;
• deformation of the skull bones;
• blindness, etc.

Breeding

The peculiarity of breeding the Ural breed is that the curly gene may not “work” correctly. Breeders do not cross Ural Rex cats with other Rex cats, but only carry out intrabreed matings. Accordingly, the only pressing problem in rex breeding is finding a partner. Since this unusual breed is considered rare, finding an animal of the opposite sex will not be easy. Ideally, when purchasing your Rex, you agreed with the owner of the nursery about future matings. But even in this case, you need to take the choice of your pet's future partner seriously.

In fact, it is very important to understand why you need kittens. If you just want the same beautiful Rex as your cat, then you can find a healthy Ural and organize mating. But if we are talking about professional breeding, then you need to be very careful: Ural Rex breeders are very sensitive and jealous of the purity of the breed.

Quality traits and beautiful colors are valued in kittens, and some cattery owners neglect breeding rules and cross Rex cats with other cats. In order not to find yourself “between two fires”, you can do this:

1. Contact the same cattery where you got your cat (the breeder will be glad that good genes will remain within the walls of the same breeding line).
2. Contact another nursery and find an ideal mating partner there.
3. Contact independent experts (for example, WCF) and ask for their support.

Criteria for choosing a partner

The future father of the offspring must meet the following criteria:

• the cat must be healthy (there should be no signs of any diseases or fleas on the body);
• the animal must be untied (let the future partner have at least a little mating experience);
• the cat must be purebred (it must have a pedigree);
• The external signs of the cat's breed should suit you.

If the breeder has several candidates for partners for your little cat, then choose the one that is most similar to your cat. Some owners of purebred cats choose beautiful cats for mating, but, for example, with fur of a different color. As a result, kittens with an incomprehensible type of color are born. Better yet, listen to the advice of the cat owner. If the breeder has already had experience in breeding, then he will have at least some idea of ​​how genes “superpose” on each other.

Experienced breeders correct the phenotype of the line when mating their animals. For example, if a cat has too short hair, then the breeder agrees to breed him only with a cat that has longer hair. From the resulting litter, the cat's owner will take one cub, so the nursery's piggy bank will be replenished with fresh genes.

Ural rexes can only be crossed within the breed

At what age should you give your pet for the first mating?

Puberty of the Ural Rex occurs early (at 8–9 months). However, at this age the animal is still considered a kitten, even the cat’s body still looks small, so it is usually customary to skip the first few heats. Closer to the year, when the cat has grown a little more, you can think about mating. Ideally, the first mating occurs within a year and a half.

Cats can be bred at the age of up to a year, because they do not need to bear offspring, which means the consequences of mating will be different. The process of first mating takes place within 4–5 days. In this case, the cat is usually taken to the cat, and not vice versa. If passions have subsided, the cat calmly allows the cat to approach her, which means the mating was a success.

Several months should pass between matings, as the cat should have the opportunity to regain its strength. Breeders breed their Ural cats once a year, less often - 3 times every 2 years. If your cat gives birth too often, she will become tired, weak and sick. True, the most beautiful cats with good genes are bred a little more often, but breeders look after such mothers especially carefully. I heard a story about breeders whose cat gives birth once every six months. The owners carry their cat in their arms like a princess, feed her only the most expensive food and respond to every “sneeze” by calling the veterinarian.

The recommended birth frequency for Ural cats is once a year.

Castration and sterilization

Often, owners of domestic cats do not think about castration/sterilization until the moment the pet begins to bother them with heart-rending screams or a smell in the apartment. And this is how the animal makes it clear that the time for mating has come. Some people who are tired of listening to nightly “concerts” think about hormonal pills. Such temporary avoidance of problems will sooner or later lead to various diseases. It is not uncommon for an unsterilized cat of reproductive age to develop cancer.

After the operation, the animal becomes calmer, nervousness and aggressiveness go away forever. It is believed that cats become lazy and put on weight after castration, but this is more of a myth than a reality. The animal's further behavior and health depend entirely on how the owner takes care of his pet.

The optimal age for surgery is considered to be from 9 months to the first heat. Recently, early sterilizations have become popular, but most people feel sorry for their cats and decide to undergo surgery when the cat is at least 1 year old. I sterilize my cats before they are 1 year old. Our veterinarian believes that the first heat is a sign that the owner needs to decide something: to operate on the cat or let her give birth. Although there are cases where a cat was successfully sterilized at the age of 15, such operations are usually performed for medical reasons.

If the cat is not intended for breeding, then it is recommended to sterilize it

Caring for your pet after surgery

The operation to limit reproductive function takes only 15–20 minutes, but the postoperative period can last a whole week. When a cat comes out of anesthesia, it tries to get up and go somewhere, but the animal’s orientation in space is disrupted, so the animal may fall. It is better not to let your cat run or jump. You can surround her with the things and amenities she needs. You can place a heating pad or a bottle of warm water next to the cat's bed. The first day after the operation, the cat will not be able to eat, but will try to drink, so it is also better to place a bowl of water next to the bed.

The animal will try to lick its stitches, so a blanket is usually put on the cat, and a post-operative collar is usually put on the cat. After a few days, the operation site will stop hurting, but the seam will begin to itch (if stitches were used). Usually at this time the cat tries to take off the blanket; it is better not to allow this.

To prevent the cat from licking the seam, put a collar on it

Some animals may require vitamins and these will be prescribed by your veterinarian. You can also ask him for recommendations on the animal’s diet. After such operations, veterinarians usually recommend a diet with low nutritional value.

Table: pros and cons of the Ural Rex breed

Animal character

These are quite sociable and friendly animals, they love their owners very much and are attached to humans. It is with the owner that the best contact is established, although he also has excellent relationships with the rest of the family.

Ural rexes love to spend time close to their owner, especially in bed. But they do not like loneliness; they need constant attention. They are absolutely unobtrusive and will not bore the owner even if he is very busy. They hardly meow, or make quiet sounds. And this does not change even during the mating season.

This is interesting! Another striking feature of the breed is calmness and even a certain phlegm. According to breeders, cats are able to endure a long journey or numerous exhibitions without any problems, and are easily handled even by strangers.

But, despite their relatively calm nature, such pets are very playful. Due to their good muscle development, they love to jump and run around the house. If you buy them interesting toys, you can keep your pet occupied for several hours.

In general, we can say that the gentle and intelligent nature of pets makes them ideal for families with children. Another advantage is that their fur does not cause allergies.
