Cookie is a sweet natured cat that is adored by his human and the 15 other cats he lives with.

This sociable cat makes friends with humans easily and has a strong presence in every room he’s in. He mingles well with the rest of his feline household and enjoys a leisurely life in an outstanding cat home.  This kitty palace includes a cat-safe outdoor activity garden with water fountains, beds and climbing frames, a specialised cat room, and free roam of the house.  

Cookie really enjoys his regular outings to cat shows with the GCCF where he has excelled in competitions.  He loves to travel and settles easily in new environments.

Cookie has a lovely character that shines on screen and in photography.  He’s a great cat to work with in the studio and it’s impressive seeing him work.

Selkirk Rex, Cookie has an outstanding coat and is truly good looking cat with emotive eyes.

A very skilful cat, Cookie has some outstanding abilities in addition to his incredible bond with his handler.  He takes instruction well and is motivated by play and toys; this is particularly evident in the agility section of his showreel where he handles cat hurdles with ease.  He’s a fan of his cat wheel and keeps his body in shape with this fun, daily exercise.

On top of this, he has exceptional good looks with his lilac-tabby coat and amber eyes.  He has soft lines and a soft nature that accompany his larger stature.  He’s heavy set, but still looks cute.  He’s easily held by strangers, including the actors and actresses he has to work with on set.

Cookie is suitable for cat acting roles with short scripts.  He works particularly well with people and true to his Selkirk Rex breeding, he is very sociable.  This has been seen in his work on the cat show circuit where he has proved his handleability.

True to the Selkirk Rex breed, Cookie has a strong, but loving nature.  He’s active and alert, yet holds himself in a placid manner which is particularly useful on set. 

Cookie is a sociable cat that can work with other felines if necessary.  He particularly thrives when working with members of his own household which consists of 12 cats, some of which are signed with The Animal Talent (Dylan, Cracker, Fae, Angel, Spud).

Cookie’s appearance is very expressive and he can display a wide range of emotions, from grumpy cat to pristine prince!  He is an incredible photogenic cat and his coat colouring comes across beautifully on screen.  In addition to this, Cookie can wear costumes, cat clothing and accessories so can be used in a variety of settings.

He is suited to a variety of acting roles and can work across several genres from comedy to family and children’s TV and films, to glamorous and prestigious dramas.

This long-haired Selkirk Rex with lilac tabby markings, is simply stunning.  Cookie has a beautiful frame with emotive eyes.  

A larger Selkirk Rex, Cookie still carries the cute-factor and will impress a wide range of people.  He has a fluffy, luxurious coat that may work in fashion editorials, yet his fur can be adapted to the scruffy look also that may be more suited to different briefs.

Cookie’s form in motion is lovely to see as he has such graceful movement; this makes him the perfect cat for action shots should they be required for the photographic brief.  Imagery of this cat will fit well with many marketing campaigns and his striking look will work particularly well in the fast world of online advertising. 

This experienced cat actor and model has worked in a variety of roles, most notably as an animation model for Disney.  For the animation of the hero cat in the film ‘Flora & Ulysses’, Cookie was filmed completing a variety of actions (including paw washing, jumping on and off surfaces, walking and playing) in order to capture realistic footage that the animation would be framed around.  These actions are particularly advanced and Cookie’s work is very impressive.  The resulting scenes are captured in his showreel.  

Cookie is an experienced show cat, achieving the impressive title of Imperial Grand Premier with the GCCF.  Cats require quite the skill set to compete in official shows and his experience in this arena proves that Cookie can cope with busy, noisy environments, handling by strangers and travel around the UK.

Cookie has also worked in a variety of settings for professional portrait photography.  He is a steady, composed cat to work with and has a variety of facial expressions that work so well for modelling shoots.

This striking Selkirk Rex is an expert on set and will satisfy all of your cat actor requirements.  Cookie is a true professional and can be hired to work for a variety of media productions.  He has stunning good looks that appeal to photography as well as film and will wow your audience.
