Title: Malting season??
Post by: James on March 19, 2009, 13:13:33 PM
 ;D

Are there seasons when cats 'malt'? Jack is semi 'short haired' - he has a very thick coat. Now the warmer weather is comming, do cats start to 'malt'?
Is he just getting used to being in a warmer flat? (pampered!!) He's by no means bald!  >:( But his fur is comming out all over the place - it's a bit of a nuisance actually!!

they do shed fur when it gets warmer - just step up  the brushing and it should be fine

Can't believe I didn't think of this before I started decorating the living room last week - I've nearly finished but fur everywhere now - very exclusive 'special effects' finish on the walls !  :rofl:
