A girl I work with has one, I need to meet him.

I was searching for curly haired cats and found the Selkirk Rex :Luv2:

I lurve the Selkirk Rex. You wouldn't want to be hairless in Selkirk, far too cold :evillaugh:

I think we all miss Thierry, and, :'( goes without saying, his Mum :'(

Post by: emmmy_lou on February 11, 2016, 18:24:27 PM: I don't think so as its on the skin, but not certain. Maybe the curly hair of some of the Rex's traps the dander???!
