Moulting

Post by Ian B on Tue Jun 30, 2009 2:09 pm

I don't remember a year as bad as this one, Bola, Dexter and Max seem like they are coming apart at the seams Laughing I dread Max doing his leg winding as I spend ages brushing hairs off me. Fudge and Jimmy aren't bad at all, amazing with Fudge as she has the longest fur by far, yet is hardly shedding any, and even better, no matts on her Shocked or furballs from any of them so far

It must be the warm weather recently that's accelerated the moulting as it's started happening right out of the blue, but I wish it'd hurry up and finish.

Moto is moulting really bably, we can groom him everyday and the amount that comes away. Sophie so far isn't bad, but no doubt it will happen.

Dexter has just come into my bedroom, jumped onto my lap, wandered round my back, did this a few times and now I'm covered in cat hair.

I can't blame him/them, it must be bloody uncomfortable carrying all that extra fur around in this weather.

They're not daft tho', even cats who aren't keen on being stroked/handled never mind being lap cats, suddenly change their tune when it's time for a serious moult Laughing

It's not the cats that are moulting it's the dog, I'm fed up of hoovering his hairs daily. As soon as i've done one spot it needs doing again.

Yes both Lilly and Saffy are moulting so much this last week they should be bald the amount of hair that is coming off them, I give them both a bath this afternoon to see if that would help but nope they are still moulting like hell.

Being a terrible mum I forgot Percy might be moulting at the moment but seeing his fur was a bit messy earlier I decided to give him a good brush Shocked Good grief, I've never seen anything like the amount that came out. I've got enough to knit myself a snazzy jumper! It might explain why he's been a bit sick recently. Yesterday morning he threw up fluid which is a sure sign of furballs. So I'm getting back in to the habit of giving him these:

Anyone else buy these?

Nic - I can't even imagine giving Percy a bath now, what a terrific idea getting them used to it when young. You never know when you might have to give them an emergancy bath.
