The popular premise is that longhaired or hirsute felines were brought from Asia to Europe in the 16th century. Hirsute is a recessive trait for cats. Their wild ancestors were shorthaired; thus, this trait probably was intentionally inbred. Adapted for cooler temperatures, a hirsute feline may need special attention in summer, but general care doesn’t really differ much from shorthaired cats. Grooming, perhaps, is a little more challenging to keep the coat looking elegantly managed.
