Hello Everyone,
Sorry if this is the wrong area, please move it if it is.
I was wondering about the fur texture on one of my kittens. It's crinkly looking, even his whiskers are crinkled and kinked instead of smooth. The best way I can think of to describe it is similar to the look of a dog with wire hair. Except his fur is exceptionally soft and puffy. Holding him is like holding a living plush animal.
I just wondered if there was a name for this and if his fur will become smoother as he gets older? When he was born, he had these beautiful white guard hairs on his paws, but they've either dropped out or darkend to black as he's gotten older, so I wondered if his coat texture would do the same
He's a "pure-bred" moggie, mom is a dsh with a very short and glossy coat. Dad is who knows! (mom was a stray we took in).
Thanks for your help!
Julia
