About the Selkirk Rex
Selkirk Rex cats are medium to large cats with distinctive curly or wavy coats and sturdy builds. These cats were developed from a spontaneous curly-haired mutation in a domestic shorthair cat. Selkirk Rex cats are known for their calm, affectionate nature and unique coat texture.
Despite their curly coats, Selkirk Rex cats are sturdy, muscular cats with impressive builds. These cats are moderately playful and enjoy interaction without being demanding. They form bonds with their families while maintaining some independence.
Selkirk Rex cats require regular grooming to maintain their curly coats and prevent matting. These cats thrive in family environments and do well with children and other pets. They are generally healthy cats with good temperaments.
