ABOUT THE IMAGE AT THE TOP OF THIS PAGE
The Selkirk Rex originated in Montana, USA in 1987, with a litter born to a rescued cat. The only unusually-coated kitten in the litter was ultimately placed with breeder, Jeri Newman, who named her Miss DiPesto after a curly-haired character in the TV series Moonlighting. 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 the cat Miss DiPesto.
