Long Hair Cat Breeds

A look at some long haired cat breeds.

Long haired cat breeds receive a lot of attention for their look, but also scare away potential owners for the same reason. The grooming needs of a long hair cat surpass those of other hair lengths, so before choosing a long haired cat breed, it is important to understand the responsibility of caring for its fur.

Long Haired Cat Breeds: Brushing

Owners should brush these types of cats at least once a day (except for the Selkirk Rex which has a curly coat). Each cat reacts differently to the grooming process, but it's important to provide the care no matter how much the cat fidgets. Another option is have your cat groomed by a professional, making the process easier for the both of you.

Long Haired Cat Breeds: The Attention Intensifies the Relationship

The attention and time spent on a cat with long fur will only make the relationship between the cat and its owner stronger. However if you love the breed, but can't handle the grooming, some breeds have both short hair and long hair varieties.
