Are all calico cats short hair?

No, calico cats can be both short-haired and long-haired.

The calico coat pattern (black, white, and orange/cream) is determined by the X chromosome, and the length of the coat is determined by a separate gene.

Therefore, you can have:

* Short-haired calico cats: Common breeds include American Shorthair, Domestic Shorthair, etc.

* Long-haired calico cats: Common breeds include Persian, Maine Coon, Ragdoll, etc.

So, a calico cat's fur length doesn't depend on its coat pattern.
