Why does my Ragdoll cat have short hair

There may be several reasons why Ragdoll cats have short hair:

1. Breed Characteristics: Ragdoll cats are a breed of cat with long hair, but not all Ragdoll cats have long hair. Some Ragdoll cats may have short hair genes, resulting in shorter hair.

2. Heredity: The length of the Ragdoll cat's fur is also related to heredity. If one or both parents have a cat with the short hair gene, their offspring may inherit the short hair gene, resulting in shorter hair.

3. Health Problems: There are some health problems that may lead to shorter hair in Ragdoll cats, such as skin diseases and malnutrition. If your Ragdoll cat's hair suddenly becomes shorter, it is recommended to take it to the veterinarian for a checkup to rule out health problems.
