Overview

Selkirk Rex

The Selkirk Rex stands out among curly-coated breeds with their plush, sheep-like curls and substantial, teddy bear build. Unlike the slender Cornish and Devon Rex, the Selkirk Rex has a round, heavy body that adds to their cuddly, stuffed-animal appearance. Combined with their patient, gentle personality, they are irresistible companions for anyone who wants a cat that feels like a warm, curly hug.

Somali

The Somali is essentially a longhaired Abyssinian, combining the same ticked coat, athletic build, and lively intelligence with a magnificent flowing coat and bushy fox-like tail. Sometimes called "the fox cat," Somalis are active, playful, and stunningly beautiful cats that bring energy and elegance to any home.
