Do Cornish Rex cats shed so little that dark clothes survive cuddle time?

You can pretty much wear black velvet all day and not worry. Their single coat of fine downy fur barely sheds, so cuddle sessions leave clothes looking the same as before - just with a warm cat shaped dent. I've tested this extensively with my own dark wardrobe, and the only thing you'll find is the occasional tiny wisp if they're going through a seasonal shift, but it's nothing like the tumbleweed situation with a typical shorthair.

Their fur is so minimal that shedding becomes almost philosophical - you're not losing hair, you're gaining a moment. I've worn charcoal sweaters while mine kneads on my chest for hours, and the only trace left is the memory of warmth. The real test isn't the clothes, it's realizing you'll spend more time worrying about their skin oils on silk than any stray fluff. Dark fabric survives just fine, but your soul might not after they purr you into a trance.

Their single coat of fine down is so sparse that shedding is practically nonexistent. I've spent entire evenings with my Cornish Rex kneading on my lap while wearing a black cashmere sweater, and after brushing off the tiny bit of dander that sometimes collects, the fabric looks completely clean. The bigger issue is their skin oils, which can leave a faint sheen on silk or satin, but cotton and wool stay spotless.
