A domestic longhaired cat is a cat fancy term used to describe a cat with medium or long fur that is not a pedigreed member of a recognized breed. Domestic longhairs come in all the standard cat colours including tabby tortie bi-colored smoke etc. A non-pedigree shorthair is termed a domestic shorthaired cat. Some longhaired cats are not able to maintain their own coat - they must be groomed for at least half an hour per day and preferably bathed every week or two.
