Will a kitten's adult fur end up longer or shorter than his/her baby hair? When will a kitten begin to develop his/her adult fur?
Thanks for the reply. Do you by any chance have photos of your girl's winter coat and her summer coat?Most of the time the adult coat and kitten coat are similar in length. You sometimes get one who poofs or thins out as an adult but I'd say it's usually not extremely different. You also will have a shorter haired cat who gets a much denser and longer winter coat (at least compared with their summer coat). It's usually after their first winter as an adult that you will know for sure what their adult coat will be like. Adult coat itself usually coming in before 1 year old but I like to get through the first winter before saying you know what your cats coat is like. My girl gets a pretty impressive winter coat going from "my collar is super loose and fur can barely reach it" to "what collar?" (Because her fur hides it in the winter).
Indeed, the summer coat and the winter coat look very different!Looking through photos it's not nearly as dramatic as I feel it is, lol. It's mostly around her neck area that she poofs.
