Question

Kittens I recently bred from my female long haired cat i crossed her with a short haired male, the kittens are 3 weeks old and i cant tell if they are going to be long haired or short, how can i tell?

Answer
From the picture it looks like they may be short haired but it is realy not easy to tell at this age. You really need to know what the parents of the short haired parent are as to whether he carries the long haired gene.

Sorry I can't be more specific, but short hair is more dominant unless both parents carry the long haired gene.
