Op, just so you know most house cats are either domestic long hair or short hair. They are not usually a specific breed unless they have specific traits such as super big ears, curled ears, no fur ect. I don’t think people are trying to be rude it’s just this question gets asked a lot on this subreddit whenever 9 times out of 10 it’s just a domesticated long or short hair. :)

Hey now, don't count out the Medium Hairs. My DMH is a captain of the seven seas and owner of the food bowl.

Yes, this cat looks a very similar degree of fluffiness to my DMH kitten.

Little question. Our vet is convinced our cat is a short hair but I’m almost 100% sure she’s a medium hair. How long is your cats hair?

He is a fluffy cat. It's not long enough for him to be a ball of fluff but definitely not short. It varies but it's a couple inches
