Thread: A must have for Christmas!! Foot and hand warmers

I'd forgotten about them - no idea what they looked like when they first popped out but I think they're gorgeous little things. We toyed with the idea of a selkirk rex when we decided to get a second cat to keep Psycho company but I just couldn't be pried from Main Coons by that point. So a SelCoonie would have been awesome! I love the fact that you can spot some of the MC features in them, especially the creamy coloured one - powerful forelegs, ruff, eyes.

Like Antonia, I'm quite jealous too, but it's the cream one I fell in love with

Aah, they're adorable - I'm with Chanel! And I still think the little red/cream (sorry, I'm rubbish with colours - I'm better when I can point and say "what's that one"!) is still my favourite. It's so odd that this has come up today - believe it or not, I was bored earlier in the afternoon and decided to look up Selkirk breeders; how odd is that?? And I didn't seen any kittens I liked as much as your Selcoons.

Chanel loved them all the time and that is what mattered...

The cream boy was the only none curly coated in the litter the rest all had Curls.

The Selkirk's have changed so much, I got Chanel in a swap with a Selkirk breeder who wanted to use my Chocolates in her breed programme. I cold have had one of the first ever imported to the UK from Austria, because she also had one of my Chocolate for her breed programme at the time I chose not to.

I like the all British look Selkirk Chanel is a long haired Selkirk which is a nightmare to keep on top of so I would like a short coated Selkirk from her to move on but we would need a British boy for that and she really does not fancy them!! I will give her one last try with a British boy this Spring if she calls and then well I give up!!

The pictures attached are Chanel.

No. The Cream one was the only straight coat in the litter the others all looked like they had a 70's perm...

Ah I see what you mean!

He was curly when he was born but when he left the curls had dropped like he needed re perming lol maybe you are right and its right at the base of the coat, I will ask his new owners.. for some new photos. See what he look like now..



The other all kept their curls whiskers an all...

Ah ha! Light bulb!

I drew a pic of what each hair looks like. But more uniform and even zig zags than those from my uncoordinated hand.

Mine has switched on lol... I see what you mean.

Who knows if things do not go to my plan she just might be meeting the Wonderful Mr Li again.... but you watch they will be nothing like the first ones..

Me thinks that if she does meet with Mr Li again & they are anywhere near like the previous bunch you could be flattened in the rush by MC forum members......
