Coat Standards

At this time, the following shall be standardized for show:

Standard
Fur to be dense, even, and lustrous - should lay flat and smooth. Long guard hairs or slightly coarser fur are permissible in Males. Whiskers are long and straight. Color and markings should conform to recognized standard.

Rex
Fur to be thick, plush and soft, with as few guard hairs as possible. Fur should be curled and waved through every part, and to a lesser extent on the belly. Whiskers should be full length and curled and bent.
Faults: Flat patches, bald patches, straight whiskers, harsh texture.

Satin
Fine to the touch, with longer and softer guard hairs that give an overall glossy look or sheen. Satin lends some colors a sparkling appearance, and a yellowish cast on white and Siamese. Whiskers to be wavy and point in varying directions.

Doublerex
Several variations may appear on the table. Bald patches among short, wirey coat that resembles that of a poodle or partially sheared lamb. A rat nearly bald with small areas of 'peach fuzz' on the muzzle, legs, and base of tail. A very short, wirey coat that looks similar to a 'buzz cut'. Whiskers and eyelashes should be curled.
Faults: Fully furred with hair that is too long or soft and resembling a standard coat, or one that is fully furred with medium-length, wirey coat resembling a regular rex.

At this time, the following shall be provisionally standardized for show:

Satin-Rex
Fur to be thick and densely curled. Hair should have a coarse texture without being harsh. Whiskers to be very short and curled around the muzzle in the direction of the mouth. Fur should have a distinctly visible satin “sheen” despite curling.
Faults: Frizzed, loose coat, bald patches, thin coat, full length whiskers, soft coat texture.
