In contexts where cats need to be registered—such as in veterinary practices or shelters—they are called a 'domestic short-hair' or 'domestic long-hair' depending on coat length.
Show rules vary; Fédération Internationale Féline (FIFe) permits "any eye colour, all coat colours and patterns, any coat length or texture, and any length of tail"[5] (basically, any cat).
The colours chocolate and cinnamon, as well as their dilution (lilac and fawn) are not recognized in any combinations (bicolour, tricolour, tabby).
Show rules vary; Fédération Internationale Féline (FIFe) permits "any eye colour, all coat colours and patterns, any coat length or texture, and any length of tail"[5] (basically any healthy cat).
Some long-haired cats are not able to maintain their own coat, which must be frequently groomed by a human or may be prone to matting.
[citation needed] Because of their wide gene pool, domestic long-haireds are not predisposed to any genetically inherited problems.
Having apparently originated in Western Asia, domestic long-haired cats have been kept as pets around the world for several centuries.
[12] In 1907, zoologist Reginald Innes Pocock refuted this claim, citing his work on the skull differences between the manul and the Angoras or Persians of his time.
Furthermore, hybrid females in the related genus Panthera, such as ligers and tigons, have successfully mated, producing tiligers and litigons.
[13][14] The first modern, formal breeds of long-haired cats were the Persian and the Angora (named after Ankara, Turkey) and were said to have come from those two areas.
