I did an insurance quote on my new rescue kitten, since I figure it's better to do it now - I hope he's always healthy, but it's better to have had insurance if he becomes ill. He is fluffy and kitten-y and the tag on his cage at the adoption center had "domestic medium hair" written, but the shelter medical history they gave me that details his visit for vaccines and then neutering, as well as his rabies vax certificate reports him as "domestic short hair." I sort of "whatever-d" it because I thought it didn't matter, but when his insurance quote was $4 more than my other girl kitten, who is definitely short-haired, I became suspicious and sure enough, the medium haired quote is higher than the short haired quote regardless of gender.
Any idea why this might be? What, more hairballs?
And, which is he? He has Maine Coon-ish features, but I still think he's a mix...not totally sure because he REALLY looks like a purebred except for lacking the distinctive lynx tips. And he's getting huge in just the month we've had him.
Do I just say ho-hum and put what the vet put on the medical history, or do I eyeball his poofy tail and say, "welp, that's not short hair?" It's kind of a dumb question, I suppose.
Here's a picture of him being a fierce predator of a ball on a track.
