I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, tell me if I'm wrong!
Hopefully I can explain this well enough. So I'm currently taking care of 5 4-week old kittens because their mom just died. She was a small short-haired black cat, and their dad is a grey and white long-haired cat. All of the kittens are short-haired but one, he is quite fluffy and definitely stands out from the rest. I've heard that its impossible for a long haired kitten to be born with only one long haired parent, except if the short haired parent has long hair in their genes. I already have one cat that is long haired, and his mom was short haired, not sure about his dad but he must have been long haired. So does that mean that both moms had long hair in their genes?
I'll try to send a pic of the fluffy kitten!
