Medium Hair Cat Breeds

A popular mid-way option, medium hair cats are popular because they're a great middle-of-the-road option for people who don't want a longhaired cat, but want a softer, fluffier kitty than a shorthaired cat.

They also require less grooming than cats with long hair but more than those with short coats.
