森林长毛是什么品种?
森林长毛(Forest Hairy)是美短的一个花色,又称“银虎斑”; 由美国CFA认证的第75页,关于森林长毛的描述如下: Forest Hairless (F) is a variation of the American Shorthair. It has a life expectancy of about 12 to 16 years and an average weight of 4 to 8 kg (8.8 – 17.6 lb). This cat resembles the domestic shorthair, but with silver-gold hair coats that are longer on the body than on the head. Its facial features are more pronounced at birth than in adulthood as the kitten’s pointed ears and whiskers become less noticeable over time. Adult eyes are generally gold or copper in color with green spots, though blue-eyed pets do appear from time to time. The tail may be straight or have a slight wave and can vary greatly in length depending on genetics, environment and coat type. The long, soft coat gives this cat its name. Although it appears silky, it is actually very dense and water repellent. The coat comes in four varieties——longhaired, woolly, medium-length and short-length, each with different characteristics.
简言之就是:森林长毛猫是美短的变种,外观近似于土猫,但是有着银色/金色长发,且更加浓密,如同丝绸一般顺滑。眼睛从黄色到绿色不等,尾巴尖有毛或者无毛。
