The Domestic Longhair is believed to have originated in colder climates like Russia, Turkey, and Iran, where long coats were a necessary adaptation for survival. They were brought to the Americas by early settlers to control rodent populations on ships and farms.
They are not a specific breed but a group of cats with mixed ancestry and long fur.
The long hair gene is recessive, meaning both parents must carry it for a kitten to have long fur.
They come in almost every color and pattern imaginable, from solid white to multi-colored tabbies.
