Today we continue to talk about what are the characteristics of the cat's coat type, I think we all know what kind of hair type cats have, cats are divided into four types of hair, namely long-haired cats, short-haired cats, hairless cats and curly cats.
Let's take stock of shorthair cats first, because whether it's wild cats or domestic cats, most of our common ones are shorthair cats. After the domestication of shorthair cats, many breeds were bred, which can be roughly divided into three categories: American shorthair cats, English shorthair cats, and Oriental shorthair cats. The biggest advantage of shorthair cats for breeders is that they are easy to take care of, and they will be very stylish without combing, but some shorthair cats will also have seasonal hair shedding (ps: short hair does not mean less hair, my brother's two short silver gradientSmith I quietly call them dandelions, you know [frown]).

Next, long-haired cats, long-haired cats are known for their softness, smoothness and length, and when the cat's hair grows to more than 10 cm, the cat of this breed can be called a long-haired cat. The long-haired cat has a calm and unmoving personality, and is gentle and kind to people. Wild longhair cats develop thick fur to withstand the harsh winters, and longhair domestic cats are the result of natural genetic mutations to withstand cold climates. In the 16th century, the long-haired angora cat was first seen in Western Europe, it had a slender body shape and silky coat, which was loved by people, until the emergence of persian cats in the 19th century, compared to the angora cat, persian cats were more robust, thicker and longer coats, and a thicker tail, so it became a cherished breed. Since the 20th century, other semi-long-haired breeds have been noticed, such as the large and beautiful Maine cat, the blue-eyed Muppet cat, and the brush-tailed Somali cat.

Curly cats are created by a genetic mutation in cats, and they are covered with curly, soft hair all over their bodies, and the double layer of fur makes their fur look thick and thick. There are far fewer breeds of curly cats than the other three types of cats, and there are currently only five breeds, namely the Devon curly cat, the Selkirk curly cat, the Siberian curly cat, the Konys curly cat and the Rapo cat.

Finally, let's talk about Lord Beerus, hairless cats just look hairless on the surface of their bodies, and unlike most cats, they are new breeds due to genetic mutations. Hairless cats are not really hairless on the surface of their bodies, they have a soft and thin layer of fluff on the folds of their skin, and there are also a small amount of hair on the ears, mouth and tail, and almost no hair in other parts. The biggest advantage of hairless cats is that there is less hair, not only does not need to be combed, but also does not make the owner have a cat hair allergy phenomenon, but hairless cats because of hairless, poor ability to regulate the external temperature, both afraid of cold and afraid of heat, summer to apply sunscreen, winter temperature to maintain above 20 ° C.
