Probably, the most important detail in shape devon-rex is its curly fur coat. And it only seems that it is possible to take simply a cat and to carry it on an exhibition and any preparation it is not necessary to conduct. Actually grooming devon-rex - labour-intensive process suffices.

   Exhibition preparation of any cat includes some components: bathing, the drying, any specific receptions (for example, powder use, etc.). Incorrectly conducted stage can spoil an end result hardly.

  The important feature coat a cover devons - this availability of natural fatty greasing thanks to which the wave is formed. Surplus of this greasing leads sticking together strands of wood and gives a slovenly kind and if it a little - it is received «fluffy».

Thus, we closely approach to a question on bathing. Here it is important to choose optimum terms to an exhibition to wash a wool from excessive fatty greasing and that it was not received "shaggy" devon with a wave total absence. Therefore repeated soapingand rinsing, suitable for a fur coat of Persians, are absolutely counter-indicative devons. If the cat is often exhibited also water procedures accepts regularly, enough one soaping with humidifying shampoo. To use the conditioner or a conditioner it is not recommended, since it can lead to wave smoothing (it is possible to use only for cats with very dense and rigid wool).

It is necessary to give special attention to auricles and nail boxes since there accumulates a lot of fatty allocations. It is possible to use a brush from a soft bristle, but this procedure hardly will delight temperamental devon-rex.

At all do not dry yours devon the hair dryer, differently you receive «white and fluffy», but also, overdry a skin. Have patience and dry its soft towel, stroking a wool along growth of hair that will promote wave "stacking". It is natural that the owner never can create «correct stacking», therefore devon it is obligatory somewhere in a secluded corner will correct business by means of language (however so all cats arrive, especially Persians, it is necessary for these to create "icicles" on a collar).

After bathing should pass any period of time that natural level of greasing of hair and a wave was restored it was completely restored. For each cat it strictly individually, therefore never wash devon on the eve of a wave exhibition - will be!

If time has not enough for restoration of a structure of a curl, it is possible to take advantage of special low-fat humidifying creams, they will help to restore fast natural greasing and to clean excessive dryness and softness of a wool. The quantity of a cream needs to be selected a trial and error method, to begin with small quantity is better and by degrees to increase a portion before achievement of optimum result. Besides, experiment in advance is better.

And here it - an exhibition! It is necessary - to bring the last stroke a wave to perfection. It can be made by means of usual water. The moisture stimulates formation of natural curls, therefore use of a damp sponge directly ahead of a ring yields positive result. But remember: by the time of when yours devon the hand of the expert will concern, the wool should be absolutely dry.

Do not forget to check up before a ring ears of your cat and to remove pollution from an internal surface. Do not do it before delivering a cat on a table to the expert, differently it is possible to cause additional stress and to lower chances of success since frightened or annoyed devon will not allow itself to examine and will not cause positive emotions.

Check up also corners of eyes and area under a tail - there it should be always pure.

In summary I wish to remind - practice gives perfection! Experiment, study a wool your adored devon and the success at an exhibition is ensured you!
