Domestic Long Hair Cats are of a varied, mixed and unknown heritage. As a result they aren’t technically recognised as an official breed. However, we think this is part of their magic! With all sorts of personalities, fur colours and coat patterns, Domestic Long Hair cats can enchant and amuse with their individuality.
One of the most common household cats along with the Domestic Short Hair, Domestic Long Hairs will slink, strut or sashay their way into your heart - depending on their personality!

Benefits of fresh cat food for Domestic Longhair cats
If you have or are looking to get a Domestic Long Hair cat you should know they will love you feeding them fresh cat food daily - even if they are too aloof to show it with affection!
Don't take our word for it, you’ll be able to see the benefits of fresh cat food for yourself. Some of the changes you might spot in your Domestic Long Hair cat include:
Improved digestion
More energy
Shinier, healthy coats
Although Domestic Long Hair cats can be very different, they all share two things. One is their lovely long fur. Two, they are obligate carnivores. This means that they have evolved to eat and get their nutrients from meat. Their sharp teeth are for tearing meat; not grinding plants. Their saliva and their liver don’t break down plants like herbivores do. Their digestive tract is shorter, because it’s built for meat. Yet industry standard cat food overlooks this, using little and poor quality meat. This needs to change!
