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 Tonkinese is a deliberate cross between the Siamese and the Burmese, first developed in the 1960s to blend the best of both breeds into one medium-sized, beautifully balanced cat. Weighing 6–12 pounds, the Tonkinese has a muscular, surprisingly heavy body for its size, a gently rounded wedge head, and stunning aqua-colored eyes — a hallmark of the breed's "mink" coat pattern. They also come in pointed (Siamese-style) and solid/sepia (Burmese-style) patterns in natural, champagne, blue, and platinum.
Tonkinese cats are the social butterflies of the cat world — outgoing, playful, and utterly devoted to their humans. They are less vocal than the Siamese but more active than the Burmese, striking a perfect balance. Known for their clown-like antics and love of games, they thrive in busy households with children, dogs, and other cats.
