This may seem a silly question, but I was wondering whether anyone could tell me how to determine whether my new kitten is a DSH, a DMH, or a DLH. I know it may be difficult to tell whether he'll be a medium-haired or long-haired cat, but how do I know whether his cute fluff is just his kitten coat or if I should expect having a longer-haired kitty? I don't mind either way though I do secretly hope he does remain either medium or long-haired as they are just the cutest. But, as long as he is happy and healthy, I'm happy and nothing will take away the love I have for him

Here is a picture of baby Finnegan:
In the picture, he is somewhere between 7 and 9 weeks old (the vet's calling him 8 weeks old). The pic was taken on Thanksgiving. He does have quite a bit of fluff and what appears to be some sort of undercoat on him. His fur is a different texture than my DMH, Cassidy, but it does have some of the same qualities -- some very slight waviness around the neck and underside and, most obviously, the length. His sibling definitely appears to be more of a DSH as he is far more sleek than fluffy, but is it likely that his coat will blow out and he'll become a DSH? In your expert (and non-expert too
) opinions, what do you think?
Like I said, either way, I'll love him. I mean, seriously...who couldn't?!
Thank you all in advance.
