Selkirk Rex: Straight, Heterozygous, and Homozygous Coats — The Real Differences
Selkirk Rex straight, heterozygous and homozygous coats - the real differences : All three types of Selkirk Rex share the same charm, the same affectionate character, and the same hardiness. The choice comes down mostly to lifestyle: the straight coat for those seeking the simplest care (outside of an allergy context), the heterozygous for the classic, balanced curl, and the homozygous for the most sheep-like fur, accepting slightly more diligent upkeep. And in every case, only genetic testing confirms a cat's exact profile — the eye alone is never enough to tell.
