Hi everyone! First time poster here.

I'm getting a kitten in a few weeks and I'm curious what you guys think!

I only have this one photo of her but from what I see she looks like she might be maybe a medium hair?

It's really, really hard to tell hair length at this age because most kittens have an extra layer of "fuzz". If I had to make an educated guess I would say she will be medium haired, but then again as she grows it could go either way.
I don't know if it will be present in a baby kitty but I know my rule for determining hair length is if the cat has hair poking through the bottom of their toes then it will be either medium or long haired in adulthood.
Keep us updated! She's a beauty

It's hard to tell. Agreeing with haleyds, she looks like she'll end up being medium-hair, I don't think she'll be short-hair.

Just thought I'd update everyone!

Daisy has been brought to her new home and she is SO friendly!! I was expecting her to spend most of the first few days hiding away and getting to know the place but the second she left her carrier she was instantly ready to play! She slept right up by our heads all night :)


 Also, she is more than likely going to be long haired. She has tons of fur and lots of tufts between the pads on her paws!

I'm in love
