Kittens and length of hair...


Ok, so we have 4 kittens here, and out of all of them only 2 have the same type of hair! Can someone who knows about this stuff tell me what to expect, or will I have to figure it out as they grow?

Wasabi's hair is very smooth and sleek - follows the contours of his tiny body perfectly (but is nice and fluffy in the tummy ).
Kobu and Ke-ki (the black boy and girl, respectively) have fluffy hair, but it doesn't seem particularly longer than Wasabi's, just fluffy as all get-out (the fact that his is so sleek may conceal a difference in length, I don't know, can't tell).
Sushi (the little girl with the white spot on her chest) has longer hair - thick and fluffy and silky.

I can figure out that Wasabi is a shorthair and Sushi is a long-hair (I initially thought semi-long, but now suspect long - not sure, will take individual pictures this week so I can introduce you to all of them by name!). But what of Kobu and Ke-ki?

I'm intrigued because they're still so small (4 weeks old on Wednesday!) but they have such differences in coat types, and I'm wondering if Kobu and Ke-ki are simply fluffier than Wasabi or if their coat is going to be some middle length... Anyone?

No idea!
But I do know that Bentley and his brother are quite different

Indeed, Jac. We know nothing about this pregnancy since we didn't have her when she was mated. Well... all we know is that the kittens are all gorgeous and wonderful and lovely

I suppose that's all we need, too
