Selkirk Rex cats are medium-sized animals known for their strong build. They have legs of medium length and paws that vary depending on the length of their hair. The short-haired Selkirk Rex has small, delicate, oval-shaped paws, while the long-haired variety has larger paws. Their tails are densely covered with hair, and their eyes are round, wide-set, bright, and expressive.
These cats have very soft coats with a wooly texture and loose, unstructured curls. The short-haired Selkirk Rex has a curly, short, and thick coat, while the long-haired variation has a unique coat that combines straight and slightly curled hair. Selkirk Rex cats can come in a wide range of colors, including pointed, sepia, and mink varieties of albinism, bicolors, cinnamon, silver/smoke, and the chocolate and lilac series.
