Would a Sphynx out-cling a Devon Rex, or are both breeds professional velcro cats?

Both are definitely professional-grade Velcro cats, but they cling in different ways. A Sphynx doesn't just want to be on you-it needs your body heat. You'll find one burrowed under your shirt, wrapped around your neck like a living scarf, or pressed flat against your chest under the blanket. That's pure thermal motivation.

A Devon Rex is equally attached but more likely to perch on your shoulder or sit on your keyboard while you're working. They're lighter and more acrobatic, so they'll climb up and stay there for attention rather than warmth. If you're comparing which one physically clings tighter and longer, the Sphynx wins-but only because it gets cold faster.

I’ve lived with both, and I’d say the Sphynx wins in sheer persistence. A Devon Rex will curl up on your lap and purr, but a Sphynx treats you like a heated cat bed-it’s not just affection, it’s survival. My Sphynx once climbed into my hoodie pocket while I was standing at the stove, and stayed there for twenty minutes, head poking out like a marsupial. The Devon Rex, meanwhile, is more of a shoulder-sitter who’ll jump down the second you move.
