I notice people referring to cat fur as hair but I am not sure which of the two is the correct term.
I suspect that hair is the correct term for the singular, an individual hair but fur is the correct term for the remaining bunch of hairs that are actually attached to the cat.
Am I totally wrong or would you tend to agree?

I call my cats my furbabes. Hairbabes doesn't have the same ring does it?

I'd say it's fur when I'm stroking it and hair when I'm removing it from my food!

I just normally say to 'Thomas' "OOOhhh look at you washing your posh coat!!"
LOL! I've always simply called the cats fur their 'Coats'
Well it's right isn't it? ;D

I would agree tigerlilly.... Coat is a good compromise between hair and fur  |
