  • The Devon Rex
    The Breed of the Month is… The Devon Rex Overview The Devon Rex has been referred to as “the pixies of the cat fancy”, “elfin magic”, or as to resembling the “gremlins from the film Star Wars.” Along with their impish features, the Devon Rex sports a short soft velvety wavy coat. They are a cat of impish looks and a mischievous personality to match. The Devon Rex is an intelligent and highly active cat. History The Devon Rex originates from Buckfastleigh, Devon, England. It is here a feral tom cat with a brownish-black curly coat had been observed living in an abandoned tin mine. In 1960, Miss Beryl Cox, who lived near the old mine, gave shelter behind her house to a stray tortoiseshell & white female. The female gave birth to a litter of kittens in her back garden. One of these kittens had the same brownish-black curly coat as the feral tom. It is believed that the mother may have been one of his offspring and that he sired her litter as well. Miss Cox kept the curly coated kitten and named him Kirlee. Ten years prior, another curly kitten had been discovered in Cornwall, England. This kitten was named Kallibunker and was being used by interested breeders to establish the Rex cat as a breed. Brian Sterling-Webb was one of the breeders trying to preserve this curly coat gene. Miss Cox contacted Brian Sterling-Webb thinking her Kirlee could be able to contribute to that program. Kirlee was sold to Mr.Sterling-Webb and was integrated into the breeding program.

  • Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD)
    Polycystic Kidney Disease About the disease Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (AD-PKD) is a problem in Persian cats and related breeds, especially Chinchillas, Exotics and British Shorthairs. The Molecular Diagnostic Unit has been oFFering a genetic test to diagnose autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (AD-PKD) in cats since April 2005 About the test This genetic test is a PCR-based pyrosequencing assay and evaluations oF the test have shown excellent agreement with the results oF ultrasound screening. The test has revolutionised testing For AD-PKD. Until recently specialist ultrasound scanning was been required For diagnosis, but the identiFication oF a speciFic genetic mutation associated with Feline AD-PKD means that PCR can now be used to identiFy AFFected cats. Cats screened using our genetic test and Found to be negative For the PKD mutation can be listed on the ICC PKD negative register. The Following graph shows the percentage oF PKD AFFected cats detected by the Molecular Diagnostic Unit between 2005 and 2018. This clearly shows a decline in the percentage oF cats testing positive For the AD-PKD genetic mutation, which is likely due to AD-PKD screening and selective breeding. Polycystic Kidney Disease Interpretation of results A Normal AD-PKD genetic test result means that the cat does not have the respective genetic mutation. An Affected AD-PKD genetic test result means that the cat has one normal and one mutant copy oF the PKD1 gene. Presence oF the mutant PKD1 gene has been strongly associated with polycystic kidney disease. Each certiFicate we issue will speciFy whether the cat is Normal or AfFected For the PKD1 mutation.
