Twirly (hey, if you know Schleppy- I have to make you a nickname),
I had never heard that about the fur length. I am trying to think back to my true kittens- Allie and Dakky. Allie does have shiny hair, and it is longer than Dakky's who has a duller finish...so, maybe you heard it wrong? But, Tenny has dull hair, and boy is he a long haired one. And, Tex is a shorty with a shiny coat.

Who else knows about the fur and shiny v. dull?
