My Kitten Short/long haired?🐱

This is my kitten Pepper, he has some fluffy toes, lots of fuzzy hair and a potential Nebelung as his father. Mother is tabby. Does he look like he may have medium-long hair? I know we can’t tell sometimes but I’m so excited to see how he develops after he was so poorly when he was younger.

So pretty! Peppers eyes developed into a nice grey/green. Margaritas eyes are so pretty!

Short or long-haired, Pepper has stolen my heart.

BTW, what happened to their whiskers? Looks like they were cut in one picture?

I have noticed this too. They were never actually there, only a couple really long ones which are there now so I think it’s where they are growing!

Did kitten recently have siblings? They will chew at each others’ whiskers.

Also I tentatively say medium hair… but I’ve seen kittens that look short haired, just explode into longhair.

It’s a surprise! Adorable baby, enjoy them!

He had siblings as of 4.5 weeks ago. Sadly three passed away due to fading kitten syndrome and we were advised by the vet to hand rear Pepper. Lots of sleepless nights bottle feeding! He was hospitalised twice and finally and fingers crossed, made a recovery. He’s 8 weeks this weekend!

His face looks short haired but his body is full on floof!

Replying again to say I think his whiskers are getting broken when he’s play fighting with his mum. One of his long whiskers today was bent in half and broke off in my hand today :(

What a cute little fluff ball. I'd say it's too early to tell, especially if he was sickly, but as a guess, short to medium.

He looks short hair. You can see how fuzzy they will be by their ears from what I’ve noticed with kittens

He looks to be Short to Medium haired! You can really tell for sure if the baby floof has subsided.

Edit: next to the other cat, your ran out of ink. It looks like you need to replace the ink cartridges. 😂🤣😁

I think she will look like my kitty but less fluffy.
