Dear brothers and sisters,

But my cat coat is looking like medium coat as he is getting older. It seems like medium coat not shorter or not longer. Here i am including some pictures of him. What do you think of him. Why he does not have long coat? Does persian cat has short or long coat? Please remove my confusions

Genetically, cats are either shorthaired or longhaired. Long hair is recessive, so two longhaired cats can only produce longhaired kittens. However, longhaired cats can vary a lot in terms of how much hair they have. Your cat will probably grow up to look a lot like his parents, but as he grows and matures, his coat will go through various changes along the way. How old is he now?

Only 3 months old

Can persian cat be long haired or medium haired?

Can persian cat be long haired or medium haired?

Pratya - While Persians are traditionally longhaired, there is a very rare recessive shorthair gene, seen only in silvers and goldens so that two longhaired Parents can, in the presence of the expression of that gene, produce shorthaired progeny, however it's extremely uncommon.

Pratya I see your cat has a quite a bushy tail. so she is definitely at least mediumhair per definition.
The mediumhair and longhair gene is the same. So, even if she seems shorthair, she does indeed has the longhair gene, and will be described as mediumhair.
Her fur will prob get longer into the winter season.
