About the Domestic Longhair
The Domestic Longhair is a medium cat breed. Adult cats typically weigh 8 to 13 pounds and live 12 to 18 years. Typical traits: varies-widely, adaptable, long-coat, grooming-commitment.
Households comfortable with weekly brushing and the occasional matted-fur grooming session. Owners who won't commit to coat care — long-haired cats mat painfully without regular brushing.
Adult Domestic Longhairs need about 20 minutes of daily exercise; adolescent cats typically need 30 minutes. The coat is long-coated with high shedding, and weekly brushing keeps the coat manageable.
