Will My Kitten Be Long Haired?

[Jennarene16]

I want to know if she will be long haired ? Father is long haired and mother is short /medium

How old is she? How does her coat compare to that of her siblings?

I think she will probably be shorthaired, but it's possible for kittens to suddenly floof out and become longhaired as they mature. Keep an eye on her tail and ruff. If she develops a puffy tail, she'll probably be a longhair.

she has a thick coat and lynx ears the others are a little shorter but there is one more with a thick coat

Small "lynx tips" like these can appear on shorthaired cats and are not a good indication of hair length... I have some cats that have small lynx tips like this, and these particular cats don't even carry the recessive longhair gene

I think you will just have to wait and see. She might simply have a thicker coat than her siblings, or she might develop into a longhaired kitten. In any case, she's very cute
