Selkirk Rex

This new breed has a curly coat like that of the other two Rex breeds, but is longhaired, making this Rex even more of a “poodle cat” than the Devon Rex or the Cornish Rex. Like their shorthaired cousins, the Selkirks have a playful personality.

The kittens go through a rather unattractive phase before taking on the distinctive longhaired curly look of the adult cat. It is the “ugly duckling” syndrome at work, for the adult Selkirk Rex is truly a beautiful animal.
