Affectionate and people-focused, it enjoys lap time, moderate play, and soft vocal “conversations.” Intelligent and trainable, it suits indoor living and typically enjoys 12–16 years with good care.
About Selkirk Rex Longhair

Its coat requires regular, gentle grooming. Before buying, it is important to review documented health information, particularly any family history of kidney and heart problems, as well as the individual cat’s temperament.
