One of the newest
natural breeds, this naturally curly cat originated from
a housecat, Miss DePesto of Noface, found in a shelter
in Montana. Given to Persian breeder, Jeri Newman of
Montana, who bred her to PhotoFinish of Deekay, a black
Persian. "Pest" produced three curly kittens
out of six – proving that unlike the Devon Rex and
Cornish Rex, Pest's mutation was dominant. Because the
gene is dominant, curly kittens can be born in the same
litter with straight haired kittens.
The Selkirk Rex is
being developed as a large, heavy boned cat rather like
the British Shorthair in conformation. The head is round
with no flat planes. The curl is plush and loosely
curled, showing up more dramatically on the longhair.
Selkirks are healthy and sturdy. They are an incredibly
patient, loving, and tolerant cats. From the moment of
birth, curly kittens can be distinguished from their
straight haired littermates by their curly whiskers. The
whiskers are brittle and may break as they grow longer.
The whiskers and hair do not change as the cat grows
older; if they are curly at birth, they are curly as an
adult. Even if the coat later shows less curl, the cat
has the curly gene and retains the curly whiskers.
