The Selkirk Rex Cat
Selkirk Rex is a domestic feline breed. It is quite different in its appearance from other Rex cats.
Selkirk Rex is a feline breed that is quite unique in its
appearance. It is not slight in its physique like other Rex cats nor is
its fur sparse and short. Instead Selkirk Rex is a well built animal
with a very soft and long fur. The coat rather resembles that of the
American Wirehair. The pretty Selkirk is a result of a genetic mutation
and was first seen in late nineteen eighties in United States. It was
born in a litter of otherwise normal domestic cats in Montana. The
unique looking female cat was recognized as having an individual
appearance and bred to a Persian male. Presence of kittens similar in
appearance to their mother in the litter confirmed the dominant nature
of the transformed gene. Thereafter these cats were developed with
intent and are now given the formal status of a distinguished breed in
a number of cat fancier bodies.
