Domestic Longhair (cat)
Long-coated mixed cats — fluff with all the same risks.
Domestic Longhair is the long-coated equivalent of DSH — any non-pedigree long-coated cat. Grooming is a real commitment; mats hide injuries.
What makes them, them
- 8–14 lb adult; long double coat.
- Weekly brushing minimum; daily during shed.
- Generally healthy.
- Lives 13–17 years indoors.
Safety — what actually goes wrong
- Mat checks twice weekly — mats trap moisture and cause skin infections.
- Microchip + Boop tag if outdoor access.
- Hairball management — long-coats need it.
How Boop helps Domestic Longhair (cat)s stay home
Boop's NFC tag works through fur — long-coated cats often hide engraved tags entirely.
