Origin
Everywhere. A random-bred cat that inherited long fur.
Coat & genes
Long hair comes from recessive variants of the FGF5 gene — a kitten needs a copy from each parent. 📎 OMIA · long hair (FGF5)
Health
A long coat needs brushing: tangles (mats) and hairballs are the usual problems.
Registries
Not a breed — FIFe shows them as "house cats", without a pedigree. 📎 FIFe · recognised breeds
