Which cat breed is right for you?
The Selkirk Rex originated in Montana in 1987 from a single curly-coated kitten found in a shelter litter and later crossed with a Persian. Unlike the Cornish Rex and Devon Rex, the Selkirk Rex has a full, plush coat of loose, tumbling curls — including curly whiskers. This is a medium-to-large cat weighing 6–16 pounds with a round head, full cheeks, and a sturdy, muscular build. They come in both longhair and shorthair varieties, in every color and pattern, with the longhair displaying the most dramatic ringlets.
Selkirk Rex cats are patient, laid-back companions with a goofy, playful streak that persists into adulthood. They enjoy being held and cuddled but are not overly demanding of attention — content to amuse themselves when their humans are busy. Their tolerant nature makes them wonderful with children and other pets.

The Siberian — Russia's national cat — is a natural breed that has existed in the forests of Siberia for at least 1,000 years, first appearing in Russian fairy tales and eventually standardized as a breed in the 1980s. This large, powerful cat weighs 10–20 pounds and features a triple-layered, waterproof coat that protected it through harsh Russian winters — a dense undercoat, longer middle layer, and coarse guard hairs. They come in all colors and patterns, including the stunning pointed "Neva Masquerade" variety.
Siberians are affectionate, adventurous cats with a playful, kitten-like spirit that lasts well into their senior years. They love water — don't be surprised to find one splashing in the sink or drinking from the faucet. Gentle and patient, they are excellent with children and other pets, and they possess a calm confidence that makes them unfazed by the chaos of a busy household.
