Hi! Happy Holidays! I'm new to this group-but was just searching around for some possible answers. My 3 1/2 year old cat had medium length fur. My parents came in today and noticed that her fur around her neck (her mane) and her tail are a lot fur...now short hair. She's acting the same, very sweet,she's eating and drinking the same, peeing and normal poop- besides the hair length change there are no obvious differences. She is grooming herself,no missing patches.
I'm planning on calling the vet tomorrow- but wanted to see if anyone else has seen this.
Thanks!

Sometimes cats' fur changes as they ages. Sometimes its the color, others its the length. Sometimes they change with the seasons too

Do you have photos of your kitty? I'd like to see him!

Hi Draco-
Thank you for your reply. That's what I'm hoping and that she doesn't have something else going on.
Yes-here she is! With the mane and without.
Thanks again,
Jaime

Thank you! She sure is. I just hope the change in length of fur is just her maturing-not something else.
Thanks again!
