These cheery little cats have an easy-going temperament and are renowned for their charisma. They love human affection and are placid and laid-back. Selkirks are also said to be very loyal and devoted companions, playful, cuddly and very 'purr-y'! The Selkirk Rex’s curly coat is the result of a dominant gene that causes each hair to have a gentle wave or curl, giving the coat a soft feel. The curliness of the coat is variable according to age, gender, climate, time of year and hormones, particularly in the female.

These curly-coated cats can have either semi-long or short hair. The body is cobby and the head round, with full cheeks and large eyes.

Remember! All breed profiles are general and every cat is an individual.
