More on the breed (it was developed in the U.S. in the 80s): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selkirk_Rex

It does represent a lot of 80s hair.

My god. When I see this majestic cat, I feel compelled to lay offerings at its paws.

By its name, that's absolutely what you should do.

All bow to the king.

Oops, all undercoat

I (too briefly) had a rescue cat, who most closely resembled a main coon, but her belly fur was all curly like this. Never seen anything like it before or since.

I mean, sure that article exists but that's an AI generated picture. That fan is all sorts of messed up.

It could be... or a broken fan? I'll be happy to look for a better pic...
