Still growing.

I let my most beautiful girl go yesterday, a scan showed she was very poorly. She had cysts on her kidneys and in her abdomen and lymph nodes as well as signs of lymphoma in her lungs, so bad that only part of one lung was working. I told the vet to let her go while she was under as it would be cruel to bring her round just for us to say goodbye. But I think I knew how poorly she was, because when I dropped her off yesterday I hugged and kissed her and told her I loved her over and over again.

Sorry for all the spamming I've done in this sub recently.

My very own living teddy bear! He is so fun and sweet I literally cannot contain myself. I have no idea what to name him!

She really was a beautiful cat, and the pictures I shared were a few quick ones I had.

These little girls…

Wants food while hubby eats dinner and Howie will get any crumbs left behind.

This is our little sweetie Ember! She’s a half Selkirk Rex, half Russian Blue, and such a playful, fun little gal to have around.

Nimbus is neutered but hes convinced hes the father. Hes so sweet and always with them now mamas starting weaning and enjoying her freedom

They are almost a year old. Mom was straight haired and Dad had the traditional curly coat. Mom gave birth to one of each and we love them so much!

Love this big softie, cant believe hes over 1 year old already!

My little boy! 🥹 He just turned six months old. Anyone else’s Selkirk like to sit with fancy feet? He’s also absolutely obsessed with springs.

Reddit, please meet Bellini and Tortellini ❤️ (breeder given names as this point)

We had two cats before (14 yrs old Norwegian Forest Cat and a Ragdoll). Unfortunatly the Ragdoll (Tarzan) became ill this autumn and never made it. Findus the remaining cat is NOT happy about being alone. So it was an easy choice to buy a kitten again to keep him company. So the grey one "Bellini" was selected.....

Though after a couple of days we begun to second guess our selves. We know that Findus is old and may not really cope with having a kitten around him all day. So we asked the breeder to Tortellini was still available from the same litter. Said and done... at 14th of November they'll arrive to their new forever home.

Sine our sorrow after Tarzan is still very strong we opted to not go for a Ragdoll again. We found out about Selkirk Rex by a coincidence and fell in love with the feline poodles :)

She also makes a good fizgig 😆

In the winter she looks very but her tummy is a gorgeous light brown.

In the summer her fur looks almost oatmeal.

She's very vocal and seems grumpy so we've always called her an angry cloud! But if she's not grey we might need to change that!

Like the title says I just adopted my first Selkirk Rex from a small shelter. I’m new to the breed but previously had a long haired cat for 21 years. If anyone has any first time Selkirk Rex advice please let me know! I’ve had Beatrice for about two weeks now and she’s extremely independent and sassy. She loves exposing her belly, but you better not even think about touching it. She rarely comes to me for pets or affection. Is it common that they’re not very affectionate?

I think Clancy got me addicted to this breed because I want another even though we already have 4 cats 🫣 he's my first rex and I couldn't be more in love with him if I tried

Nowhere near as curly as other, but those twisted whiskers give her away! Fir behind her ears is curly and I'm noticing on her back and thighs she's getting some more curly pattern. She's 11 years old, she's a princess, she knows it and she's very clingy.

A friend of mine, who also has a Selkirk, said that they need a bath about once a month. Apparantly this breed can get buildup of fat in their fur? My girl washes herself religiously, and I dont feel any bad smells from her. She dont smell like roses either, that being said 😅 I've always learned that cats only needs baths if they get dirt in their fur, that they cant clean off themselves.. This is my first Selkirk, so Im no expert and wanna do whats best for her <3

First time posting, but wanted to share my crazy boy Ohlin.
