Domestic cats are usually heavier and stockier, but this little red tom has an elongated build and softness. tail, huge ears and long narrow head. And his tight curls are silky smooth and wavy all over his body, even his short beard is curly.

His owner, Mrs. Ennismore, decided he was abnormal and took him to her veterinarian for castration. Fortunately, the veterinarian recognized the kitten as the result of a genetic mutation and persuaded his owner to breed a new breed. With the help of geneticist AC Jude, this curly-haired male cat (Kallibunker) has produced many curly-haired kittens with his father. The new breed's name comes from the same mutation that occurs in domestic rabbits. This breed neither belongs to, nor does it belong to. Many kittens born in the experimental development did not have curly hair, but that began to change as cats with the Konigs curly gene increased. According to the laws of heredity, the kittens born of the Cornish Rex and the Cornish Rex have the characteristic of curly hair.

Breeding a new breed was time-consuming and expensive, and Kallibunker's owner decided not to fund her breeding program and euthanized Kallibunker and his mother. But fate took care of Koenigs again, and a Kallibunker descendant, called La Morna Cove, was exported to the United States to continue Koenig's breeding. In England, the surviving breed is descended from two Kallibunkers, which developed somewhat differently from the American Ricks.
