The Domestic Medium Hair cat is a cat related to the Domestic Shorthair and Domestic Longhair Cat. They have a unique and uncommon gene that gives them the Goldilocks of cat hair—silky, mid-length, and just right, although color, features, patterns, and more can vary. They are not considered a cat breed but rather a type. They tend to be larger and heavier than shorthairs. A wide variety of personalities exist in the Domestic Medium Hair cat. Some are independent, some are more affectionate, but all are generally easy-going cats.

How to Keep Cats Off Counters

Every morning Martha, a stately Maine coon mix, sashayed across the breakfast table and made a beeline for her favorite windowsill, shedding cat hair into the butter and flinging litter granules from her long furry tail along the way. When Mitch noticed clay particles floating in his coffee mug for the third morning in a row, he erupted. “No more cats on the kitchen table!” he bellowed-and Martha seemed to get the message. But by 7:30 the next morning, Martha’s march began anew. Short of barring her from the kitchen, Mitch wondered how he could put an end to Martha’s “surface shenanigans.”
