This is Danburry. He is an Domestic American Shorthair as far as I know. Rescue cat. What I was wondering is if he could also be part long hair cat and if so what do you think he is mixed with? (I only noticed this when I adopted a second cat who is also a domestic short-haired tabby, very petite and much less hair! In this photo Danburry is about 9 years old. He has very thick hair and seems to have two coats. His hair on top is longer and covers shorter thick soft fur underneath. When he gets wet, it takes a bit for him to know it cause his coat is so thick. He has long tufts of hair growing on his feet that cover his pads partway. He does not seems bothered by snow or cold weather but gets hot in the summer and prefers to lounge in front of a box fan. (We jokingly call him snow cat. Only cat I've ever known to try and get outside when there's snow.) His tail is not fluffy at all. His ears have some long hair growing out of them but maybe related to age? He is a large bodied cat. Weighed 20 pounds at one point when he was very overweight. Now weighs around 14-15 pounds after I took him off dry food. He used to be a spotted tabby when he was young but his spots grew out into all grey when he got older. He is also very vocal and smart.
What do you think he looks like besides being a domestic short hair?
