Help To Decide! Ginger Long Hair Domestic Kitten

[naezmi]

Please help me decide which one of these ginger cats will have the longest hair! Thank you in advance!

Approx. 2 weeks old now

Ah, they're so cute! It's hard to really tell at this age, but the bottom one on the left looks the fluffiest at this point. Might change later.

Whoever is fluffiest now, might not be the longest haired in the future. Definitely watch them over the next couple of weeks to see how they develop.

 

[naezmi]

Thank you very much! Yes, that one would be my guess too! Looking forward to more opinions!

 

[naezmi]

What age would be the best to decide? At 8 weeks will it be more obvious or earlier?

I don't know what age you would know for sure. Eight weeks seems way to young to know. I'd say at least a few months before their coat is fully developed. May I ask why u need to know?

I'm looking for a long-haired kitten and the owner said, 4 of them are long-haired.

OK that makes sense. Sorry I can't help much. I would wait as long as u can to pick a a specific one to let the hair coat develop as long as possible before deciding. As long as waiting won't make you loose out.

 

[naezmi]

Okay, thank you! Yes, I need to wait anyway because they are too small at the moment. Hopefully, by the 8.-10. week length of their hair coat will be much more developed. Then I need to pick one so that I can start his/her vaccination program.

By the way, is it true that longish hair between kitten's toes indicate long-hair?

To me it looks like even the bottom left is only going to be medium hair. It's hard to tell at this age. Are you looking for med. hair or persian type long hair?

Yes, long-haired cats will have long hair between their toes. Toe tuft - Wikipedia
It is a very charming look!

 

[naezmi]

Similar length would be OK.

Take a look at the tails. That and ear/toe tufts is a good indicator although not a perfect system. I agree they need to grow a few weeks before fur coat length becomes more apparent. Cute group of babies and I also think the lower left ginger looks fluffiest at this time.
