GENERAL: the Selkirk Rex is the result of a dominant, spontaneous
mutation that causes each hair (guard, down and awn) to
have a gentle curl giving the coat a soft feel. This is a medium to
large cat with heavy boning that gives the cat surprising weight and
an impression of power. Females may be less massive than males
but not dainty in appearance. The Selkirk Rex is an active cat with
a sweet and endearing personality. Balance and substance are the
essence of the breed, where all parts come together in harmonious
whole with neither too much nor too little consideration given to any
one feature.
HEAD: Skull: round, broad and full-cheeked in both males and
females. Skull structure to be smooth and round to the touch from
the stop to the back of the head as well as across the breadth of
the forehead and between the ears. Muzzle: the muzzle is medium
width. The underlying bone structure is rounded with well-padded
whisker pads to give the impression of squareness. The length is
equal to 1/2 the width. Profile shows a muzzle, clearly visible
beyond the curve of the cheek. The tip of the chin lines up with the
tip of the nose and the upper lip in the same vertical plane. Profile
reveals a nose stop. The nose has a downward slant with a convex
curve and is set below the eye line. Chin: firm and well-developed,
balanced in proportion to the rest of the head and should be neither
receding, protruding, nor excessively massive. Either level or
scissors bite is considered correct (level bite - top and bottom front
teeth meet evenly. Scissors bite - inside edge of top front teeth
touch outside edge of lower front teeth). Ears: medium in size,
broad at the base, tapering, set well apart. Should fit into (without
distorting) the rounded contour of the head. Furnishings, if present,
are curly. Eyes: large, rounded, set well apart. The eyes should
not appear almond or oval-shaped. The outside corner is set very
slightly higher than the inner corner, giving a sweet open expression
to the face.
BODY: Torso: medium to large and well-balanced. The substantial
muscular torso is more rectangular than square, but not long. Back
is straight with a slight rise to the hindquarters. Shoulders and hip
should appear to be the same width. Legs: medium to long.
Substantial boning. Should be in proportion to the body. Feet:
large, round, and firm. Toes: five in front, four behind. Tail: medium
length, proportionate to body. Heavy at base, neither blunt nor
pointed at tip.
COAT: Coat length: two lengths - short and long. The differences
in coat length are most obviously seen on the tail and ruff. On the
shorthairs the tail hair is the same length as the coat (approximately
1”-2”) and tail curls are plush and lie compactly around the tail.
The ruff is the same length as the coat fur. On the longhairs, the
tail curls are plumy and stand out away from the tail. The ruff hairs
are also longer and frame the face. SHORTHAIR – Texture: the
coat texture is soft, plushy, full and obviously curly. Density: the
coat is dense and full with no bald or thinly covered areas of the
body. The coat stands out from the body and should not appear flat
or close-lying. Curl: this is a random, unstructured coat, arranged
in loose, individual curls. The curls appear to be in “clumps” rather
than as an all over wave. Although curl varies by hair length, sex
and age in an individual, the entire coat should show the effect of
the rex gene. Curliness may be evident more around the neck, on
the tail and the belly. Allowance should be made for less curl on
younger adults and kittens. LONGHAIR – Texture: the coat texture
is soft, full, and obviously curly. It does not feel or appear to be
as plush as the shorthair coat, however, should not appear to be
thin. Density: the coat is dense and full with no bald or thinly covered
areas of the body. The coat may stand out from the body but
may appear and feel less than plush, but not close-lying. Curl: this
is a random, unstructured coat, arranged in loose, individual curls.
The curls appear to be in “clumps” or “ringlets” rather than as an all
over wave. Although curl vaires by hair length, sex and age in an
individual, entire coat should show the effect of the rex gene.
Curliness may be evident more around the neck, on the tail and the
belly. Allowance should be made for less curl on younger adults
and kittens.
PENALIZE: Excessive cobbiness or sleek oriental appearance.
DISQUALIFY: Extreme nose break, lack of visible muzzle, malocclusion,
tail kinks, crossed eyes, obvious physical deformities,
including polydactl feet, no evidence of curl.
