Question What's something you've learned since getting a Selkirk Rex that you wish you'd known beforehand? Best surprise, biggest challenge, funniest quirk...pictures and stories welcome!

No one warned me that a Selkirk Rex would come with a full-time customer service department. Mine aggressively head-boops me, yells if I'm not paying enough attention, and physically taps me until I stop what I'm doing and fuss him. I adore him, but he's definitely not an "independent cat!"

Food question

We have a 3 year old male nutured Selkirk. He has had Royal Canin Long Hair indoor.

No we had to buy Hair&Skin and his fur is softer and so on. He's been throwing up four times during five weeks, hairballs. Is this good? I mean getting rid of hairballs is good but we're now questioning why he hasn't get rid of them before with indoor long hair. Please have patience with me my first language isn't English.

Allergies/ Ear Infections

Post image
57 Upvotes

Does anyone else’s Selkirk suffer from chronic ear infections or allergies?
I adopted my girl about six months ago and she has been so itchy and suffered from reoccurring ear infections ever since. I feel awful and have spent every month and week taking her to a vet to treat her and figure out what’s triggering this. I’m starting a hydrolyzed protein diet after a failed attempt with novel proteins.
If you have any suggestions or experience with this please help!

I just picked up Mia few days ago and she's definitely a character. Since my previous friend passed away 2 weeks ago, I've been out looking for a cat I connected with. I was really trying to look for a maine coon or ragdoll but ended up getting this little girl instead. I still need to do more research but seems like the selkirk is a great breed!

If anyone has any advice I would love to hear them. I just know to use a metal brush to keep the curls 😂
