Hi team! I've read in quite a few places that you can tell kittens fur length when they're 12 weeks... now I have a 12 week old and its not obvious to me can you give me tips?
He is silver tabby, has silky fur that looks thick (because its puffy), but is not thick when you stroke it. Ancestry is ragdoll and persian. Based on his tufty feet and long ear hair, I think he should have medium or long hair, but right now he has long guard hairs and reasonably short light inner coat... he always had long dark tipped guardhairs, mostly on his back, but now has more, and is growing light coloured guard hairs as well, mostly on his legs.
I read some other posts here that said the guard hairs will go away, but they are getting more, not less are they the early hairs of the adult cat instead of guard hairs? My adult cat of unknown breed has guard hairs still, maybe the kitten will be like that?
I posted a question about the colour earlier and someone said will be long hair, but was waiting till the magic 12 weeks for it to become obvious (lols! Not to me!)
