The poodle cat — also known as the Selkirk Rex — is a breed of curly haired cat that was only recently recognized as a distinct breed. The breed seems to have emerged only very recently — as the result of a mutation seem in a cat born in Montana in 1987. That single cat — born to a feral cat in an animal shelter — is the ancestor of all Selkirk Rex’s currently in the world.<\/p>\n

The breed currently contains two different coat length types — long and short. It’s a relatively large breed of cat, with a solid build. The coat of fur is soft, and looks rather a bit like a lamb’s — woolly looking and feeling, with loose ‘random’ curls.<\/p>\n
