they are also known as household pet.. but even if u hv a persian tapi tak de paper to certify.. if u masuk cat show.. it will go under the category of domestic longhair or novice..... same with other breeds too... but normally all these pure breeds yg tak de paper kalau dorang masuk category domestic longhair they don stand a chance to menang simply becos.. correct me if m wrong.. one judge from Holland, Lee Selassa told me once that "a domestic long hair cats has to look domestic and with no resemblance to any pure breed..."

on general... longhair genes are normally recessive while shorthair genes are dominan.. so in most cases that I have come across a long hair male and a short hair female will normally produced short haired kittens but there are also cases where the kittens are all long hair...
