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?

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.
