"History..."(*)
The Selkirk Rex originated in Montana, America in 1987, with a litter born to a rescued cat.
The only unusually coated kitten in the litter was ultimately placed with a Persian breeder, Jeri Newman, who named her Miss DePesto.
This foundation cat was bred to a black Persian male, producing three Selkirk Rex and three straight-haired kittens.
This demonstrated that the gene had an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance. All Selkirk Rex trace their ancestry back to Miss DePesto.
"Personality"(*)
They are curious, tolerant, extremely sociable cats that enjoy spending time with their preferred persons.
People-oriented without being clingy, Selkirks have a generous measure of love and loyalty for their human companions.
Selkirks fit in well with other family members including children, and usually get along well with other companion animals.
Because they are very social, they don't do well in isolation or when left alone for long periods.
