Selkirk Rex

Felis catus

✨ Dato Curioso

Selkirk Rex kittens are born with their curly coats, unlike other Rex breeds — and they can lose and regain their curls during development, keeping owners guessing.

The only curly-coated breed named after a person — and the only Rex with a plush, heavy-boned, stocky body. Their soft, curly coat comes in longhair and shorthair varieties. Patient, tolerant, and affectionate — nicknamed 'the cat in sheep's clothing.'
