A local breeder (Jeri Newman) was asked to look at the “strange” kitten which exhibited a slight curl on the coat. Jeri, who had an interest in feline genetics adopted the kitten and later bred the kitten to one of her cattery Persians, Photo Finish of Deekay. On July 4th, 1988 the year-old “kitten” by then named Miss DePesto of NoFace delivered 6 kittens. Surprisingly, 3 of the 6 kittens had a curly coat and the other 3 were straight-hair kittens. Thus the beginning of a Breed. This 50% ratio of curly offspring is exactly what would be expected from a dominant gene for curl. This created even more interest in exploring the development of a new breed based on the curly-coat trait. Jeri selected one of her own family names, “Selkirk”; with the same theme as the Cornish and Devon Rex regional names, the Selkirk mountains and a stream by the same name were nearby. -

The American Curl
The American Curl BREED SEMINAR TICA 2019 BY GRACE RUGA Introduction History and origins What influenced us as we wrote the American Curl Standard Defining the American Curl Core Identity Traits Understanding American Curl Ear Types This is what MORNING SICKNESS looks like with Warm Cat Treatment!! Shulamith’s first grandson, Master Luke Litter from first Curl to Curl breeding The American Curl was born! To assist us, in writing the Breed Standard for the American Curl, Jean introduced us to a book, called The Book of The Cat. In the early 1980’s this volume was considered the most accurate text available, presenting a short biography of each recognized breed with detailed drawings, some photos, a section on coat and color genetics, and basic cat care information. We were told in order to develop a breed we needed to choose a recognized breed similar in type and structure to the American Curl to use as our “outcross” breed. At the same time we were to write a Breed Standard for the American Curl describing our structural ideal and the traits that made the American Curl unique from all other breeds. Writing the American Curl Standard Choosing Terminology to reflect the breed identity and essence Here are a few of the pages from The Book of The Cat with visuals and/or vocabulary words we borrowed from a few of the breed’s descriptions in that volume. We highlighted terminology from the following breeds: -Turkish Angora - “Wedged head; body relatively slim. Tail long and bushy. Coat fine, long and silky -Somali – Long-haired Abyssinian. -

There are several concerns on the possible negative effects on PPG including anaesthesia, surgery and complications. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety of PPG. Microsoft excel was used for statistical analysis. The information about 6646 purebred kittens who had gone through PPG before 27 weeks of age was obtained from the online retrospective survey. Database included cats from the different breeds and –age groups when the surgery was performed, collected in 2019. -
