Cat with soft, thick undercoat

[sp1ders]

Do any of you have a cat with this sort of coat?

It's got a thick, woolly undercoat and the top coat doesn't seem to let any water in so she doesn't get wet deeper down. I've had cats all my adult life and never seen this sort of coat.

She's a lesser tortoiseshell moggie. Her parents had the usual type of cat coat.

My torbie girl has that coat. It’s super soft and thick. She loves playing in water and doesn’t notice rain as quick as the other two. The water stays on the top coat, as you say. You wipe water drops off her and she’s dry.

My boy is like this. He'll happily lay in the middle of the grass in a heavy rainstorm. He's a dreadful molter though and seems to think that being brushed as the same as me breaking his legs...

My grey tabby cat has a coat like this too. She came in apparently soaking wet the other day but was fine and dry nearer her skin

My parents boy has it. It doesn't shed much.

Our black and white cat has a thick undercoat. Unfortunately, unlike Toodelrteaplease’s parents, she sheds a lot of this grey undercoat. The see through dust container is full every time I hoover, which I have to do frequently.

Yes our thug of a (semi-feral) boy tabby has this. He's big wimp when it comes to other cats, apart from he likes to annoy his mum and siblings).

I wonder what the cost type is called. Mine loves the cold weather, but hates the hot weather.

Mine has it. Can be soaking wet and doesn’t notice it. Of course that’s when she’s her most affectionate. 😳

Our puss does, it feels super luxurious! Seems to molt lots but hard to get with the brush and sometimes he looks a bit tufty around the back of her legs and comes off in clumps. Our hoover is constantly full of fluff too

Our boy has this - the top part is sleek then underneath it’s all fuzz. He loves being brushed.

So there's lots of cats like this! 😃 so cute. My nickname for mine is Woolly 😂

My little Willow is like this. I’m sure someone told me it’s a triple coat but I could be wrong.

One of my boys has fur like this, he looks massive but it’s mainly his dense coat! He sheds like mad and I’ve found a grooming mitt is the best way to get in deep enough without bothering him.

He isn’t bothered by rain but neither is his brother (also long haired but less thick), they came to us after living outside for a bit so we chalked it up to that.

My madam jumps in the bath. When she was a kitten she would empty the water bowls playing in them. I joke she’s part Norwegian forest cat.

I fostered a couple like this. They were completely back but their undercoat was tabby. We nicknamed them the 'black tigers'.

Our big black male has this - unfortunately he also sheds like crazy and leaves a trail of fur wherever he goes including in the litter box

Our old girl has fur like this. I'm forever picking up tufts of grey fur off the floor.

I think my boys is like this too. To me it's looks like when we had dogs and they had loose fur that needs brushing but it's always there.

Here he is chilling on our new chairs that are now covered in cat hair

My black cat is like this. She looks soaking wet but is actually dry by the skin.

Arab boy has no undercoat at all. While this is presumably great for living in Dubai, it means any rain he is completely drenched through.He is an idiot though and forgets every time.
