Short-Haired Cat Breeds

25 cat breeds match. Cat breeds whose registry records a short coat, listed alphabetically with the registry's own wording.

How this list is decided

Coat length comes from the CFA breed profile's own "Coat Length" field, or from the breed's registry name where that names the coat. Breeds their registry recognises in both lengths are recorded as recognised in both rather than being filed under one.

This is a category, not a recommendation. Members are listed alphabetically and nothing here is ranked or scored. Breed tendencies describe what a registry records about a breed — not what any individual cat will be like. Spend time with a specific animal before deciding.

In this group

Every profile carries registry-sourced measurements and recognition, each linked to the registry that published it. Breed tendencies are not guarantees — individual animals vary by genetics, training, socialisation, health, and household environment. Spend time with a specific cat before deciding.
