The Cornish Rex is a good potential choice for people who are allergic to cats.  While no cat can be truely hypoallergenic, the Cornish Rex does not aggravate allergies in many people with cat allergies.  Allergic people are encouraged to visit a breeder to determine their own tolerance for the breed.
     Where as a normal cat has three layers of hair, the Cornish Rex have only the down hairs (undercoat), which will ease the degree of suffering for people  who are allergy sufferers, and for people who don't like alot of cat hair lying around the house.  The Cornish Rex cat shed the least, so they deposit less allergen laced hair around the house.
