* Kittens love to play with toys, scratching posts and to climb on cat trees 

(Do not buy toys with Ribbons or string that kittens can swallow)

* Devon Rex cats do need baths (use baby shampoo) and their ears cleaned use dry Q-Tips (don't clean too deep you don't want to damage the eardrum)  also a good time to clip claws

* Tip for alternate bathing for Devon Rex Kittens: Baby wipes or a damp cloth works great.

*Kittens have small eyelashes to protect the eyes from dirt, use an eye cleaner.  If a foreign body is in the eye and is causing eye irritation use a eye ointment like
