All,

I've 2 tabby cats, around 18 months old. They eat Iams and both seem to be drinking enough. They are malting more than a tabby usually would and I've no idea why. We had some warm weather a couple of months ago and I put it down to that, buts it's continuing.

I've asked them and neither has any debt problems or difficulties at work: so it's not stress.

Any ideas?


Ps. No bald patches, just a lot of visible loose hair and hair left behind.

Possibly running a secret brewery behind your back, not sure the tax implications for you - so start asking them questions - and don't let them fob you off.

My cat's moulting a lot at the moment too. I reckon that with the cold weather in most of April/May/June he'd re-grown his winter coat.

Any bald patches? Are they scratching a lot?

Ha.

It's a word I don't think I've ever written before: moulting (thank you Mobile Chicane)

The brewery would explain why they're both always pi$$ed.

No, and no.

They seem fine.
