Long hair kittens

Question

Bridgette I bought a kitten from a hobby breeder who told me the kitten is ragdoll and maine coon mix. I expected it to be a long hair cat, but at 10 weeks, it looks like a short hair. I asked the vet today when I took her in for shots, and he thought she looked like your basic American short hair. I think I recall reading or hearing somewhere that the "second coat" of long hair doesn't come in until about 4 months of age. Is that true? The breeder showed me a photo of the father, who was a long hair, and showed me a larger and older kitten from the same father but another litter that looked just like this cat, but indeed had long hair. Am I worrying for nothing, or was I scammed? I really wanted a long hair cat!

Answer
Teresa,

It is possible that the coat just has not yet come in. However, must Longhair kittens I have seen are pretty fuzzy at 10 weeks of age.

By 4 months of age, you will know whether this hobby breeder was honest or not!!!!!.

Best regards... Norm.
