Is senior Cornish Rex energy still springy compared with other older cats?

Most senior Cornish Rex cats retain that signature springy energy well past their prime. I've watched a 14-year-old Cornish Rex launch from a windowsill to a sofa like it's nothing, while my neighbor's elderly Persian barely shuffles to the food bowl. The breed's wiry build and high metabolism keep them lighter on their feet-less joint strain than a heavy cat. That said, don't mistake "springy" for kitten-level chaos. They'll still do those trademark vertical leaps for treats or a sunbeam, but the landings might be a bit stiffer and they nap longer between bursts. The real tell is in the tail: a senior Cornish Rex still flicks it with that sharp, almost annoyed precision, while most other old cats let theirs droop.
