The Selkirk Rex is distinct from all other Rex breeds.

It differs from the LaPerm in that the Selkirk Rex coat is plusher and thicker.

The Selkirk Rex originated in Montana, America in 1987, with a litter born to a rescued cat.

This foundation cat was bred to a black Persian male, producing three Selkirk Rex and three straight-haired kittens.

All Selkirk Rex trace their ancestry back to the cat Miss DePesto.

Unlike other Rex breeds with reduced amounts of hair, the Selkirk Rex is not recommended for those who might be allergic to cat allergens.

The temperament of the Selkirk Rex reflects that of the breeds used in its development.

There are no known health problems specific to the Selkirk Rex breed.

Homozygous cats ( with two copies of the dominant Selkirk Rex gene ) may have a tendency towards excessive greasiness of the coat, requiring increased frequency of bathing.

* February 2 – Alexander Selkirk is rescued from shipwreck on a desert island, inspiring the book Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe.

Defoe's immediate inspiration for Crusoe is usually thought to be a Scottish sailor named Alexander Selkirk, who was rescued in 1709 by Woodes Rogers ' expedition after four years on the uninhabited island of Más a Tierra in the Juan Fernández Islands off the Chilean coast.

However, Robinson Crusoe is far from a copy of Woodes Rogers ' account: Selkirk was marooned at his own request, while Crusoe was shipwrecked ; the islands are different ; Selkirk lived alone for the whole time, while Crusoe found companions ; while Selkirk stayed on his island for four years, not twenty-eight.

Furthermore, much of the appeal of Defoe's novel is the detailed and captivating account of Crusoe's thoughts, occupations and activities which goes far beyond that of Rogers ' basic descriptions of Selkirk, which account for only a few pages.

While the LaPerm gene is a simple dominant, the Selkirk gene ( Se ) acts as an incomplete dominant ; incompletely dominant, allele pairs produce three possible genotypes and phenotypes: heterozygous cats ( Sese ) may have a fuller coat that is preferred in the show ring, while homozygous cats ( SeSe ) may have a tighter curl and less coat volume.
