Glitter? and crazy long guard hairs.

[mrssaenz26]

This is my kitten Theo. He's about 10 weeks old we think. I want some opinions on his coat. It's fairly dense but not plush, he has long ear hairs, a bit of ruff order his chin and some long tufts sprouting between his toes. The strange part is his extremely long guard hairs(or what I'm assuming are guard hairs)! They are 2-3 inches longer than the rest of his coat and they stand almost straight out from the rest of his fur

their texture is wispy. I haven't seen a coat like this before - hopefully someone here has.

Also the guard hairs are very reflective and almost holographic. I tried to photograph them the best I could.
They are much more numerous than what appears in the pictures. Is this glitter?

My old kitten had that. She became a short/medium. Her body was mostly a shorter fluffy coat and her chest had a mail and kept the long toe and ear hair. I dont have a pic as my ex has her now.
