Selkirk Rex
Other names: Longhair Selkirk Rex, Sheep Cat
The Selkirk Rex is a different breed to the Devon Rex and Cornish Rex, as their curls are not genetically identical. Also, they have significantly more hair than their Devon/Cornish counterparts. Their hair is also different to LaPerms, as their coat is more reminiscent of that of a sheep, thanks to the shape of their curls. Therefore it is unsurprising that they gained the nickname “Sheep Cat” !
