Sad little face! Looks like he definitely needs a cuddle and maybe a piece of that bacon…

Just what I was thinking. He’s got the Yoda ears and the “old wise man” expression. But Archi is cuter, of course.

 
2007-09-26 15:28:37

Yup - Mine too! Definitely Yoda! What a cutie! Love the photos on the web site. Did you look at any of the photos of the other cats? Gorgeous pics!

Comment by aaalihar
2007-09-26 15:39:40

I don’t think he looks mad. To me he is pouting about something…
maybe he doesn’t feel well. I would have thought this precious
baby-man was way too adorable to have anger issues. On the other hand he could just be grouchy like Archie Bunker.

By the way, the web site is fantastic! I was really impressed by
the photographers creativity. Devon Rex must really be easy
to work with. My red tabbies would never have stood still, literally,
for any of that.

Please pass Archie some treats or something and make him smile for us.

Nice appholstry he has.

Happy hump day everone.

I’ve never seen that type of breed before. There is def something about those big eyes that are so great. And those ears, :)

He looks very “down” with his home and family.

Comment by ayla
2007-09-26 20:32:48

Archi has that type of sad or ‘down’ look. It is the expression I love on him. When I took the photo, his mom just walked away from him. He is a litter of one, which is also hard on him. No one to wrestle with. Although, he has chosen my son to play with most.

Awwww he’s not ugly at all. I think he’s adorable. And somebody who posted earlier was right, there are much better pics of him on the website. I still think he’s angry but beautiful.

Your reaction to a Devon Rex is not unusual. I have heard that one out of ten people will like them. Being his mom, we love his look and the Devon Rex personality. Being described as a mix between a dog, a monkey and Denise the Menace.

Comment by mayra
2007-09-26 21:05:26

The pictures are great! His look is definitely out of the ordinary, but that just makes Archi cuter and more adorable.

What an adorable fur baby! I also have a Devon Rex, which I rescued a few years back, and I find Devon Rexes to be very personable cats. I love Devon Rexes! I went to Archi’s website and there are some beautiful photos there. Whoever does the photography has a great eye! It will be fun to watch Archi grow up, and I thank you for sharing him with us.

Hey Archi’s dad,

How do you do this?? All of your photos are sooo great!

Comment by ayla
2007-09-26 20:25:54

Thank you!

Archi’s dad is an architect. Somebody has to make some money to support Archi’s mom’s hobby - Devon Rex show/raising kittens and photography!

As for how I take photos: I use a heating pad to get them to relax and with lots of pets and love. With a few times, they are so used to the routine and really want to be photographed.

Just adorable in a very unique way. My first viewing of a Devon Rex baby and he certainly is charming. Great photos of Archi. I wonder if the creator of Yoda used a Devon Rex as a model.

Comment by ayla

Thank you so much for the kindness. I have heard but not sure if it is true that George Lucas had or has two Devons before he created Star Wars.

He is adorable….the force is strong within him!

I am assuming you are planning on showing Archie when he is old enough. It will be fun to see how he changes as he grows!

Comment by ayla
2007-09-26 20:21:26

We are hoping to show him when he is older, if he likes to show. But mostly he will be a pet. I think since he has no littermates, he lives on my one-year-old son and follows him around. My son is super gentle with him and just adores him as well.

2007-09-26 22:35:44

I used to show my Maine Coons, but stopped when they no longer enjoyed it. Archi shows some great Devon Rex traits already! He is a beauty!

Archi is definitely a Yoda kitten. His marking make him look like he is
wearing a cloak, and with that expression he has to be contemplating
the Force.

 
Comment by miu
2007-09-26 19:22:16

Wow! Archi is the first (?) Devon Rex on the site. A pouting cutie with a softest skin and marvelous markings. I need to scritch him, I want to make him smile. ;)

waaaaaaaaa I want Arci!!! I fall in love, but not that easily. Archi is the kind of kitty that I would take everywhere. Of course he would be in direct competion with the other 4 fuzzybutts…..They would have to get over it. hehehhe

 
Comment by Nibs and Nora's Mom
2007-09-26 19:44:32

Adorable pictures on the website, but now I have a question. In his very young pictures, his ears are folded over. Do Devon Rex ears naturally straighten out (WAAAY out!) or do the owners have their ears docked (like dobermans)? Inquiring minds want to know!

Comment by ayla
2007-09-26 20:17:17

Great question. We do nothing to alter a Devon cat (no docked, perm or ever ever ever declaw). We love when the ears are folded over as it indicates very large ears. The longer they are folded over the bigger the ears.

Thank you for your kindness on the photos. I update almost everyday or every other day with photos. Sometimes our one-year-old human helps too much with the photo shoot.

Ayla, I’ve never seen such beautiful photos of Devon’s before (or any cat for that matter). You truly are very gifted! I have bookmarked your website so I can admire them when I want. How did you become such a great photographer? Your cats are also extremely beautiful! What do you feed your fur kids since the cat food recalls?

You’re awesome!

2007-09-27 16:17:15

Wow Tina! You are so kind.

I don’t know if I am a good photographer, but our Devons are so inspiring to watch them grow that I like sharing it with everyone.

As for food, we serve Nature’s Variety Raw - organic chicken variety (not like homemade raw, it has all the vitamins and complete diet) and for in between snacking/treat we have freeze dried chicken Liv-a-Littles and Grandma Lucy’s.

Thank you for your kindness on my photography and Devon Rexes!

Not ugly, no, but definitely a little odd - I think the Yoda descriptions are spot on! And anyway, he shares a name with my paternal grandfather who I just about remember, so I’ll cuddle him on that basis alone!

I’ve never been a big fan of the Devon Rex (not sure why) UNTIL NOW! Archi has changed my mind–I love the picture on the website where he’s in the water can. Oh boy, is he so ever cute! :)

 
Comment by Emma in PA
2007-09-26 21:05:22

Ringo Starr of the Beatles was once asked if he was always sad, since his photos seemed to portray him as a rather depressed young man with somber eyes and a downturned mouth.

Starr replied, “No, that’s how I always look. It’s just me face.”

It’s just Baby Archi’s face.
