Hi, I wonder if any of you guys know the answer to this one. We have two wonderful Maine Coon kittens who are 4.5 months old. My query is about the length of their coats.
Sheila (silver tortie tabby) has quite long, silky fur with a rugged appearance, while Bruce (red/silver tabby) has shorter, neater hair. They are litter mates.
Is Bruce likely to develop a longer coat as he grows up, or is this likely to be how their coats will stay for life? Do some Maine Coons have shorter coats?
We're just interested really - we love them just how they are, and we don't intend to show them.
If pics would help, let me know and I'll post some on fur pictures - I don't seem to have the option to post on this forum.
