I have gotten to thinking about longhaired cats vs. shorthaired cat. Somewhere I read or heard something about the fact that longhaired cats she less than shrothaired cats. Is this true? I don't brush Twitch or Lily very often(once a week, maybe), but my grandma has a longhaired kitty that gets brushed daily. He doesn't seem to shed as much as Twitch & Lily. My aunt has two kitties, on LH & on SH. The SH seems to shed more of the two. They both get brushed on a daily basis. I have never had a LH, so I don't know. All I know is that my sweatshirt is always covered with cat hair(long & short) after a trip to the HS.
If you have any input, I'd love to hear it. There is a potential adoptee at the HS who asked about this & I hope to have more to tell her Thursday night. I am hoping that she will take home a LH girl who was surrendered because she sprayed(she was declawed but not spayed
). I think this lady will be a perfect match for this kitty, but her husband seems to have trouble with allergies, but only around LH cats(when he sits by their fur, he gets really watery eyes & sneezy, etc.-OK when petting sometimes). They are both very eager to take this girl home as she seems to love them already, but they don't want to take her home if there is the chance that her husband will get worse). If she doesn't take this kitty home, there is another pair of SH kitties she is looking at(another family is looking at these two as well). Whichever way she goes is excellent, but I am secretly hoping she will take home the LH.
