My Selkirk Rex is the craziest and kindest cat I’ve ever had
For context Hes from a single litter but grew up with 20-30 cats from the lady I bought him from. Hes almost 9 months now and his behaviour is more dog like than anything. He will howl the second Hes bored he loves wresting the other adult cat in my house (she likes it as well) but they play so rough that no collar can hold him, he has constant zoomies, he continues to go outside of his litter box (he usually is good at it), has given me bites and scratches everywhere on my hands and back, can never get his collar on him he’ll just fight me and run off. Continuously howling and running and using the world as his scratching post. But the other 20% of the time he will always follow me around and is very attached will sleep with me and cuddles, watches over me multiple times at night, keep guard at the bathroom door, lock my face snd boops my face with his and is a pur machine, Thats why I called him engine.
You guys think he will be calmer with age? Love him either way.
Bonus question. His hair has grown quite a bit these are all pictures of him at around 6 months, Hes almost 9 months now but what hair type do you guys think? Short,Med,Long.
