Expert Answer

A kitten’s baby fur is sparse and soft, not very long, with uneven distribution of amount and color, so some messy-looking patches are normal.

Around 3 months the kitten enters a shedding period, finishing by about 8 months; the new coat becomes two-layered — a fine soft undercoat and a coarser longer topcoat. During shedding, feed egg yolk, salmon and olive oil for nutrition and brush often.
