PURRSONALITY
With an endearing temperament, the Selkirk Rex makes a wonderful family pet. Developed from British Shorthairs, Persians, and Exotics, their genetic background is reflected in their personality traits: affectionate, patient, playful, alert, and intelligent. They will be tolerant with respectful children and other family pets, including dogs. They love human company and enjoy a cuddle.
Visitors are often intrigued by the cats and want to touch their coats and owners may have the urge to pick up their cats — fortunately, the Selkirk Rex is a patient cat that accepts these human foibles with great tolerance.
