I have just performed a "fur check" on my two, and their belly fur is definately softer and fluffier than the rest of their bodies.
Ally's fur is VERY silky and sleak - it lies very flat against her body. Connor has a double coat (which has the added bonus of not shedding too much), but he is an untidy boy - he always looks like he has rubbed his fur up the wrong way!
