As the curly gene is dominant, when you mate a curly Selkirk Rex to another curly Selkirk Rex, homozygous cats (owning two copies of the the curly gene) occur as a ratio of 1:4 in this curly to curly mating. These cats tend not to be showable as their type is altered & too finer boned but do produce all curly offspring mated to a straight coated counterpart, the advantage of this is pick of the litter is curly and not straight!   However, the type of these is improving and some homozygous are doing very well on the show bench

Although they look slightly different to the regular Selkirk Rex cats you will see on the show bench they  have the most amazing Selkirk purrsonality and really loveable  endearing qualities.
