The cats’ ears have a broad base and a tapered shape, set wide apart. The tips of the ears are rounded. The oval-shaped eyes are widely spaced, with rich colouring that complements the coat colour. The Cat’s jaws are straight, though a slightly undershot jaw is allowed. The front teeth form a line that is clearly visible when the Rex’s head is in profile. The upper and lower canines are symmetrically positioned, with the former slightly deepened. The graceful and moderately long neck is well muscled. Cornish Rex has a slender and elongated body. The cat has a deep, moderately broad chest. The tail is: thin, rather long, and tapers smoothly towards the tip. The limbs have thin bones that contrast with the strong musculature.
