At what age do you recon a kitten starts getting its adult fur?

In my case it looks and feels much better! Tigger always felt a bit wiry before but he's smooth as silk now (nice and shiny too!)

I'd post a picture but the little devil has rolled around in the nearest dust patch and looks all untidy again now

Re: FURminator - what a tool!!

I did it for mine before her first show. She looked gorrrrrgeous after. It does thin it but what do you expect! I also found the colour altered as most of the dead hair is light so removing that made it darker.

I love my furminator.

I think it depends on the kitten. Some seem to have lost their kitten fluff by 12 weeks, others still have kitten coat at 8months! Once she isnt looking so fluffy and her coat is moulting then give it a go. If you really want to err on the side of caution leave it until she is 6months old. xx

Re: FURminator - what a tool!!

I'm also a big Furminator fan - it's great even for my very shorthaired cats (Burmese, Asians and Ocicats)
