	Selkirk Rex - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Selkirk Rex is a breed of cat with highly curled hair, including the whiskers (vibrissae).
		Unlike the Devon Rex and Cornish Rex, the hair is of normal length and not partly missing, and there are longhair[1] and shorthair[2] varieties.
		The Selkirk Rex originated in America in 1987, with a cat named Miss DePesto, who was bred to a Persian, producing three Selkirk Rexes and three straight-haired cats.

		The very first Selkirk Rex, Miss DePesto of NoFace, or Pest, was a shorthaired kitten born at a pet rescue service in Montana.
		This variety showed not only that Pest's rexing mutation was a simple dominant, but that she, like many random-bred cats, was carrying the recessive longhair gene.
		From the start, therefore, the Selkirk Rex has had both longhaired and shorthaired classes: the two are not formally separated, and the allowed outcrosses for the breed continue to include the Persian.
