Yes. The Devon Rex coat is delicate. Each hair is fine and lacks the protective outer layer found in most cats. Brushing too hard can break the waves or cause irritation.
Use a soft bristle brush or a chamois cloth. Gentle, short strokes. Weekly brushing is enough-over-brushing does more harm than good.
