Whitney Veterinary Hospital and
Cat Care Clinic

Domestic Short Hairs are the most predominant domesticated cat in the world. Although they originated in Egypt, their body type and weight has slowly evolved over the centuries to adapt to the region of the world where they live. This is a self-sufficient, easy-going, no-nonsense cat.

Stocky cats with water-repellent topcoats and dense undercoats that held the warmth evolved in the Northern climates, while smaller, longer, leaner cats with thin, sparse coats that let the heat dissipate developed in the warmer parts of the world. The Domestic Short-Hair is more playful than the Long Hair and needs little, if any, grooming from its owner.
