Kahimi Karin - Welcome to TCS - Cheshire is absolutely fabulous!

The long haired phenotype is an inherited autosomal recessive trait, caused by the inheritance of two FGF5 gene variants (i.e. from both Parents). In other words, a longhaired British Shorthair, but not a British Longhair. In the case of the BSH, the Fibroblast Growth Factor 5 gene variant is c.475A>C FGF5 and not the standard M4 mutation carried by all cats. There's a case illustration online of a longhaired British Shorthair by the Genomia Genetic Labotatory here:

Yes its fully possible to two shorthairs to get one or two kittens longhaired.

If they both carry the recessive longhair gene.
