How long does it go on for? :shock:

I'm surprised that Oliver isn't bald considering the amount of fur he's casting off. As much as I like my domestics, having to vacuum twice a day is a bit excessive :? Its a shame I can't vaccum Olly :lol:

OMG, ours are moulting again, already had a moult in April/May time and have now started again, my black bun Boris looks like he has been abandoned at the moment. He has tuffs sticking out all over his backend, why grey tho ???? He hates the brush and runs and hides at the sight of it. We have to sneak up behind him and grab handfulls, thinkfully he thinks this is a game and doesnt get too upset.

i want to know this too! Noisette is showing no signs of moulting, and in the time I have had her, she has not shed a single strand! :lol:

Alfie's been on a permanent moult since April I think. :shock: I thought he'd finished a few weeks ago and it all started again. :shock: :lol: He's mainly black, but the loose tufts always look grey because the hairs get lighter as they get closer to the skin.

Bubbles is just starting a very mini moult - her coat is much finer than Alfie's & so I don't think she has as much fur to lose.

matthew is moulting like a .... rabbit, i suppose. totally covered me in hair last night when i gave him a little grooming, i could hardly see my clothes. hair in my mouth, hair in my eyes... hair everywhere.... but he was a much comfier bun after, and flopped most charmingly as soon as i put him down.

if tabby is moulting, she hasn't said so yet. no loose hair to be found.
