Semi Longhair Cats
Many semi longhair cat breeds, such as the Norwegian Forest Cat, are of natural ancestral type, others, such as the Ragdol Cat and the Somali Cat, are relatively new manufactured cat breeds.
In each semi longhaired cat breed, the coat seems to have a distinct pattern of growth that is like no other.
However, in its fullest expression, in the Maine Coon Cat, for example, there are the common features of lynx like ear tufts, inner ear furnishings and a chest ruff which can reach right down between the front legs.
Coats can be rather shorter over the main part of the body but there is a drift of fur on the fanks and breeches on the back legs. Paws often show tufts between the toes under the paws, and tails are long and plume like.
