So I have this wonderful 4-month-old kitten that has very fluffy fur. And I have read that some cats lose their fur from the younger days and it might change so I wanna know if there is a way to know whether my kitten will keep its long fluffy fur?
The only way to know for certain is by documenting thoroughly, by which I mean to say we want you to post regular pictures of the cat.
will do :)
My Instagram feed has become pretty much exclusively feral cat colonies/cats in various states of need. Is good to see a happy cyat in a loving home.
Don’t shave your kitty
You really missed out on a pun there…
Or didn’t I?!
In my experience they tend to get fluffier as they get older.
We adopted two cats at the same time who were supposedly not from the same litter, but we are convinced they at least share a father. One of them got super floofy pretty early. The other had longish fur but never like her sister’s. Seven years later, and less-floofy is catching up to super-floofy. It’s getting harder and harder to tell them apart at a quick glance.
I had a Maine coon that was labeled an American shorthair. But over the course of 3 years he just kept getting bigger and fluffier until he was 20lb lean with really long hair.
What a beautiful kitten! With such a fluffy tail, it seems likely he/she will stay somewhat fluffy. Ours just got thicker fur as she got older. Have you asked your vet?
Wait.
Efficiency.
You have to pet them to make sure, sorry
Time will tell.
When they puke it up.
Based on the tail alone, I’m fairly confident you have a long-hair cat.

Gorgeous kitty!! Is s/he a Turkish Van? Awesome 😍
Have you tried asking it?
Anecdotal evidence:
3 months old
1.5 years old (glorious winter coat)
Your cat is beautiful! I think that there’s a very good chance that its fur will stay long, and grow a little bit thicker over time.
Generally the ear tuffs and paw hair that will give some insight.
This! Check for bean sprouts/toe tufts :)
