domestic long-haired cat is a cat of mixed ancestors - thus excluding certain types of recognized cats - has a semi-long coat of long hair. The domestic long-haired cat should not be equated with British Longhair, Longhair America, or any other breed with the name "Longhair", which is a standard breed defined by various registries. Long-haired Domestic is the second most popular cat in the United States after short hair in the country; one in ten of the ninety million cats in the US is domestic long hair. Another common term is long-haired house cat and, in English English, long haired moggie .
In fancy cats, and among veterinarians and animal control agents, domestic long-haired cats can be classified by organizational specific terminology (often capitalized), such as Domestic Longhair ( DLH ), House Cat, Longhair ( HCL ), or Semi-Longhair Households . As pseudo-breeds are used for the purpose of registration and protection/rescue classification, and breeds like Persian cats Although not raised as a cat show, some mixed cats are completely pedigreed and go into cat shows that have non-race "Household Pet" divisions. Show rules vary; FÃÆ' Â © dation Internationale FÃÆ' Â © line (FIFe) allows "every eye color, all colors and patterns of coats, any length or coat texture, and any tail length" (basically every healthy cat). Others may be more restrictive; an example of the World Cat Federation: "The colors of chocolate and cinnamon, as well as their dilution (purple and yellowish brown) are not recognized in any combination... [and] the pointed pattern is also unrecognized."
Long-haired domains come in all colors of cats that may genetically include cats, sea turtles, bi-colors, and smoke. Long-haired domers can have feathers that are up to six inches long. They can also have a mane similar to Maine Coon, as well as a toe tassel and ear tassel. Some long-haired cats are not able to retain their own coats, which must often be prepared by humans or may tend to be woven. Due to their extensive gene pool, domestic long hair is not susceptible to genetic inheritance problems.

History
The domestic long-haired cat has been kept as a pet all over the world - apparently originally from West Asia - for several centuries, and admired for its elegant and rugged nature. During the 16th century, the crusaders who returned from the Holy War, after bringing plague and pestilence from the East, also imported the first long-haired cat to Europe. In the mid-17th century, when the plague destroyed many Londoners, the cat made its first recovery step from centuries of persecution. Although it has been outlawed by the Roman Catholic Church, cats have been pushed as protectors of mice carrying lice.
How they thrive in the first place is still a matter of speculation. The long coat may be the result of a recessive mutant gene. When a long-haired cat is mated to a short-haired cat, only a short-haired kitten can be produced; However, their offspring when mated, can produce a proportion of long-coated kittens. Successive litter of long-haired cats in Europe produces an increasingly coated breed, more likely to survive in a colder European climate. In 1521, around the time they were first documented in Italy, the variety has been improved after only a few generations.
By the end of the 18th century, Peter Simon Pallas had proposed the hypothesis that manul (also known as the Pallas cat) was probably the ancestor of a long-haired domestic cat. He has anecdotal evidence established though the male offspring will be sterile hybrids, female offspring can re-reproduce with domestic cats and pass on a small portion of the manul gene. In 1907, the zoologist Reginald Innes Pocock disputed this claim, citing his work on the differences between the skulls of Manul and Angora or Persian in his day. This initial hypothesis ignores the potential for cross breeding within the Felidae family. For example, Savannah Cat is a cross between DSH-Bengel and Serval wild Africa - both of which have different skulls and lines of evolution. Furthermore, hybrid females in the associated Panthera genera, such as ligands and tigers, have been successfully mated in many documented cases, producing liliger and titigons.
The first formal breeds of long-haired cats are Persian and Angora (after Ankara, Turkey) and are said to originate from these two areas.
