The Unique Selkirk Rex on the Living Room Couch

The Selkirk Rex stands out among domestic cats because of its dense, curly fur that forms loose ringlets. Indoors, this soft feline lies comfortably on a sofa alongside a plush cushion and a small toy mouse.

Intriguing Facts About the Selkirk Rex Breed

The Selkirk Rex breed originated in Montana in 1987 from a single rescue cat named Miss DePesto that possessed a natural dominant curly fur gene. Unlike other Rex breeds, the Selkirk Rex has a full, heavy coat with curled guard hairs, whiskers, and eyebrows. Living room sofas are favorite resting spots because these affectionate cats prefer warm, cushioned locations near their human companions.
