at what age to kittens start shedding
Enjoy his soft, fuzzy coat while you can, because soon he'll shed his baby coat for the coarser hair of adulthood. With maturity comes many changes, and for your kitten one of those changes is his coat. Kittens are born with a soft, cottony-like coat to keep them warm and melt human hearts. Starting at around 5 months of age, your kitten may start shedding this soft fur for the thicker, tougher coat he'll carry as an adult. It usually takes about a month or so to make the change, during which time you'll find his baby fur coating your couch, bed and clothes.
