Do long haired cats have short hair on their backs, top side along the spine? My cat has a lot of fur around her neck, looks like Shakespeare and long fur on her chests and belly and rear legs. Every where else her hair is like a short haired cat. She has fur on the feet and lynx tips. She only a 1 year old and weighs 11.9 pounds. How can a female cat get this big so quickly, she nice and round like Gizmo but I wouldn’t say she’s a little fatty, just plump! I can post pics later. Her hair is quit long for summer, I guessing she will have longer hair in the fall/winter?
