A honeycomb structure having improved thermal shock resistance which comprises, a ceramic body having a plurality of individual cells extending longitudinally therethrough, a plurality of interconnected wall portions forming said cells, said cells extending across the areal extent of said ceramic body and being of uniform size and shape, each said cell being formed with at least one movable joint formed by the intersection of two wall portions, and said movable joint and said wall portions forming the same being displaced upon the application of a force to said cellular structure to compensate for stresses generated by such force and inhibit the structural failure thereof.
