Declawing the Devon Rex is a major surgery known as onychectomy, performed under anesthesia, that removes the claw from each toe (from the first knuckle out) of the Devon Rex’s forepaw. There is always a tiny possibility of death during the surgery, and a declawed Devon Rex may have a slight risk of infection and perpetual pain in her paws. This operation is not advised for an adult Devon Rex and is termed an act of animal cruelty in some regions (as below).

Alternative Veterinary Medicine is known as the field that considers and evaluates several ideas influencing the health and wellness of Devon Rexs.
Devon Rexs, like other felines, eat meat. Never forget that when you’re trying to decide what you should feed your Devon Rex. If you don’t adhere to the intended diet, your Devon Rex will become a finicky eater. By giving him non-meat based foods like fruits, vegetables, dairy, nuts, seeds, etc., you can have a difficult time getting the Devon Rex to eat.
Remember Devon Rexs share a recent common ancestor with the largest of felines — panthers, lions and tigers — so keep that in mind while feeding your Devon Rex. You wouldn’t witness a full grown lion on Animal Planet eating an apple, drinking milk or chewing grass in nature.
