Selkirk is aptly described as ‘The Cat in Sheep’s Clothing’, or a ‘Sheepcat’. It has characteristic curly coat and curled whiskers of a Rex Cat, but unlike the other Rex breeds, the Selkirk has a bulky appearance with a rectangular, muscular body. The head is wide and rounded with short muzzle. The ears, which have ear-tufts, are smaller than those of a typical Rex Cat. Coarse guard hairs are present and, as well as the awn and down hairs, are curled.
Selkirk is said to be patient, tolerant, laid-back, cuddly, playful.
