Short or long hair?

[scole3]

Hi everyone! My boyfriend and his coworkers found 3 kittens at work and long story short the mom never came back (after 2 days) so I took them in. I'm guessing they were around 3 weeks old when I got them because they couldn't restroom on their own and I had to bottle feed them. Now they are about 7 weeks old and I foster failed hard and am keeping one. I found homes for the other 2 (close friends of mine thankfully because I did not want to take them to a shelter) so now I have a cat along with my 2 dogs. We named her Libby, which is short for little bit (that's what I called her when we got her because she was so much smaller than the other 2). She gets along great with our dogs (golden retriever and a Mini aussie/chocolate lab mix) and they play with each other all day, it's so cute! Anyways, I have never had a cat and was hoping someone could help me determine whether she would have long or short hair.

Thanks!

Its not easy with kitten fuzziness.  The trick is to look at their tail.  If bushy, its medium or longhair, if thin - shorthair.  

The bicolor pattern is usually called for tuxedo, by obvious reasons.   What tuxedo, depends on her color of the fur, the dark color.

Black tuxedo, blue (=grey) tuxedo, etc...

Sweet kitten, and a beautiful story!

Tx for helping these three lill sisters of our!

Her tail is a little bushy...it's not very thin. I've actually noticed it being a little more fluffy recently. Thanks for your help!
