The Domestic Long Hair cat gets its coat thanks to a recessive trait. The Domestic Long Hair cat is a type, not a specific breed, so there’s a lot of variety in the cats, who were first seen over 400 years ago. Only 10% of cats are considered to have long hair. They vary in look, personality, size, and stimulation needs. Generally, they are friendly, open, and engaging cats that thrive off of human interaction.
