Temperament
The Selkirk Rex is best summed up as patient, huggable, mellow. Expect a cat that's right in the middle of everything you do, mostly in comfortable silence. Chaos rating 2/5 means the zoomies visit politely and leave.
Care Notes
Grooming: Moderate effort. Brush a few times weekly; more during seasonal shedding. Exercise: with low energy, plan a couple of short play sessions and a sunny perch. Health: keep up annual vet visits, dental care, and weight watch — this build gains easily; ask your vet about screening common to the breed line.
