They require less brushing than their longer-haired cousins (though they do benefit from some of it to keep their coats clean). Plus, this kind of feline is beautiful to behold.

A moderate sized Australian breed, with a rounded head, plus large eyes and ears. They're the perfect home companion.
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.
The Korat cat has a quiet, sweet nature but is very intelligent and playful. They make ideal household pets and can be devoted to their human companions.
