| Non-pedigree Shorthairs | | 2008-02-04 01:39:00 | | All cats, pedigree or crossbred, are aristocrats, with blood lines that run back to the sacred cats of the Pharaohs – the humble “moggie†no les than the most dignified of Grand Champions. All have their own individuality, but share the same charm, elegance, and feline mystique.HistoryShorthaired cats have graced human society for thousands of years, and were differentiated from pedigree types only in the late nineteenth century, when the best examples of British street cats were selectively bred for showing.TemperamentMoggies are the original fireside companions, chosen not for their venerable parentage, but because they are appealing and lovable in their own right.

Non-pedigree Longhairs can be the result either of crossbreeding Longhairs or of matings between longhaired cats and shorthaired cats.TemperamentLike all cats, the non-pedigree Longhair has a personality uniquely its own, formed by heredity, upbringing, and social environment, but is nonetheless likely to be more docile than its shorthaired relation.VarietiesAs you would expect, a limitless number of “varieties” are possible for the non-pedigree Longhair!Non-pedigree Tabby LonghairAs with the non-pedigree Shorthair, the cross-bred Longhair is more likely to have tabby markings than any other because they comprise the basic feline coat pattern. The length of the fur tends to make the markings less evident, but a Tabby is nevertheless always unmistakable.Head-Medium in size, round, with a medium-length nose and red nose pad.-Distinctive “M” on forehead.EyesLarge and round.EarsMedium in size and round-tipped.Facial CharacteristicsNon-pedigree Tabby Longhair.Picture: Non-pedigree Tabby LonghairBodyStrong and stocky.CoatLong, thick, and silky.TailMedium-long and fluffy.LegsMedium in length and thick.FeetThe paws are large and round.Non-pedigree Smoke LonghairAn indefinable color, but still a most resplendent cat!
