How to distinguish between long and short hair from cats? You can judge by observing the kitten's hair. Generally speaking, long-haired cats will have longer hair than short-haired cats, and their hair will be thicker and smoother, while short-haired cats will have thinner and rougher hair.
Kitties usually have obvious long and short hair when they are about two months old.
When the kitten is still in a wet state after childbirth, long hair may have a slightly wavy appearance and have flat hair.
The thick short hair on the head of a short hair cat will be the same as the body length. Once the body is dry, the hair on the neck will stand upright, and the hair on the forehead will also stand upright when the body is dry.
