I know that it's usual for MC's to shed their winter coats and thin it out for the summer months but is it usual to affect the tail also? Gracie has been shedding for a while now and I've noticed the last few weeks that her tail is looking a bit pathetic really. She used to have the huge 'brush' but now it's definitely more 'flowing' is the only way I can describe it! Is this normal?

Not sure this helps, but Wicca's is definitely not thinning out, although she's moulting at a ridiculous rate (every time you stroke her, you get hairy palms). Freyja on the other hand was vigorously groomed a few weeks ago with a Furminator and her tail was reduced considerably - it's not 're-bushed' yet. So the change in weather is affecting both of mine but in different ways. Sorry I can't be more helpful.
