Selkirk Rex Cat
The Selkirk Rex can actually be long or short haired. The shorthair is recognized by it’s loose, random curls, while the longhair consists of cascading waves, almost ringlets. The body structure is more heavily boned with a more rounded head than a typical domestic cat. Selkirks come in nearly every color of the feline palette, including pointed, bi-color and silver varieties.
Most cats stay relatively clean and rarely need a bath, but they do need to be brushed or combed to stimulate blood circulation and promote good health. A grooming glove or mitten can make this process as simply as daily petting. The Selkirk Rexs coat is no exception, even the longhaired variety, requires little maintenance. An occasional bath followed by gentle combing once the cat dries will keep the fashionable “just got out of bed” look and remove loose hairs. Keep ears free of wax.
