Maine Coons have long hair on the backs of their legs (called pantaloons or britches) and between their toes which helps to keep warm in the cold.
is mainly due to the Longhair's coat; this version of the Japanese Bobtail also sports a ruff. Also the legs of the shorthair version are finely covered with hair, while the Longhair's coat lies fairly flat and then may flow into hairy "pantaloons" ...
The coat is close lying over the shoulders, gradually growing longer toward the rump and flowing into "pantaloons" on the hindlegs. Japanese Bobtails come in a large variety of solid colours, bi-colours or tricolors.
