Title: Clumps of white fur everywhere.
Post by: mervyn7451 on December 14, 2009, 22:13:09 PM

Hi,
Over the past few day's I've noticed Daisy is leaving little clumps of fur about the place about the size of a thumbnail.Now I never noticed that with Orbit,maybe because he was brown & my carpets being brown.
Is this normal? I think cats moult around this time of year?
Thanks,
Merv

Tiffany has a big flap of loose skin under her belly, and regularly loses quite big clumps of very soft fur from there - as it is not from her main body I just pick it up and think no more of it

if Daisy actually has bald patches where she is losing fur I guess it might mean something is not right

I sometimes find tufts of Pepper's white fur about the house, sometimes when they groom they come out and when I groom Pepper myself more it sometimes can help because it gets rid of them.

Actually,just looking at it,it's very soft,like down.

that sounds just like Tiffany's - I suspect it's from Daisy's undercoat, and is quite normal
