We have two domestic shorthairs, and luckily they are very low maintenance and brushing them seems to almost be optional and once a week is more than enough.
We are thinking of adding two new kittens to our family, and are debating between shorthair (my preference) and longhair (SOs preference). My fear is that a long hair like the Maine Coon would need brushing every other day to avoid tangling and matting and then there's probably clingers from litterbox that might need cleaning and maybe even take to the groomers from time to time, whereas shorthairs are pretty much zero maintenance.
For those that have had both, thoughts?
