Thread: Summer coat in November?

Oh how amusing - I love the idea of you fluff up and using powder on Merlyn's bib when he goes through his unseasonal moulting! x

I have uploaded several new pictures of Theo as well as his parents & when he was just a tiny kitten

Glad I read this as one of my boys who is 21 months has lost his huge ruff and feathers down the side of his face and my other 20 month old boy has just started growing his first ruff although my 22 month old girls is still the same - is there nothing normal about owning a coonie :o) its like having marauding toddlers in the house most days lol
