I have a litter of kittens, 4/5 of which all have normal American short hair which is softer on the belly. If you really pay attention you'll notice their back fur has soft fur mixed with coarser strands. I imagine there is a purpose for these coarser strands mixed in. Mom was a tortoise shell calico with white mittens/belly. Dad (one dad?) was a cow pattern white with significant black spots. Both parents also have normal short/medium fur texture with what feels like coarse strands and softer strands mixed.
One kitten (who happens to be a very marbled tortoise shell calico with very faint white chest/toe spots) has the most buttery soft fur all over. There are no coarser strands mixed in anywhere like there have been on all my other cats (and on all of her siblings). Every inch of her is buttery soft.
Does anyone know what causes this and if I need to worry about health conditions or exposure to the elements??
