It's completely normal for your Korat kitten to experience changes in her coat as she transitions from her baby fur to her adult coat. The process can seem rapid but is a natural part of her development.
- Kittens often lose their baby fur around 6 months of age.
- Your kitten's coat development is part of her growth!
- If concerned about excessive shedding, monitor her diet and overall health.
Kittens typically start shedding their baby fur and developing their adult coat anywhere between 4 to 6 months of age. This transition can vary depending on the breed and individual kittens, but it is a natural and expected phase. If your kitten's coat changes seem too rapid or if she seems itchy or uncomfortable, consider her environment and diet as factors and consult with a vet if necessary. Keep providing a balanced diet and regular grooming to support her coat health.
