breed q&a

T


his cat has a distinctive look that is enhanced by
a thick coat with ringlets. Her coat can be long- or
shorthaired and any colour or pattern is acceptable. The
shorthair has a soft, plush, full curl that is dense, while
the longhair isn’t as plush. The tail curls of the longhair
are plumy and stand away from the tail. The degree of
curl varies with the length of her hair, age and gender.
The curliness increases around her neck, tail and stomach.
Her intelligence shines through in her big, round eyes,
which can be copper, gold, yellow, green or blue.

Selkirk Rex’s beauty
What is distinctive about the Selkirk Rex?

A


s with all highly intelligent
cats, the Burmese’s mind
needs to be stimulated through
interactive play to keep boredom
at bay. Puzzle and feeding toys,
and reward-based games are
some of the ways to keep her
mind occupied. She can be vocal
at times and will talk to you in a
low, rumbling voice. This is not a
cat to be left on her own. When
you’re not at home, it is best to
ensure that she has other animal
friends to keep her company.
