November Cats?

Hello everyone!

I hope everyone is well and ready to get after some fur.

Question for you that have taken Nevada cats in November. How do the November cats compare with December cats as far as fur (prime)?

Really depends on the weather. If it is warm like now usually not as good as colder months.

Thanks bucks

I thought it was more about the length or intensity of daylight(DONT REMEMBER WHICH) than temperature that effected when fur primes. With that said,when do Nevada cats become prime. It must be regional no matter how it comes about. "Any Thoughts"

Definitely length of day, not temperature. Cloudy days speed it up.

That being said, over time, natural selection will select for denser fur in areas that are historically colder like far north and high elevation.

So, primeness is dependent on daylight. Fur density is dependent on genetics and nutrition (don't forget that). Just like people with poor nutrition get bad hair and nails, fur is worse with poor nutrition.

When do NV cats get prime is a tough question. If you grade by condition of leather (blue vs. not), then they are prime now. If you go by fur length, then everyday until April they get better.

Thank you. I can guarantee that I will read and reread that response. Oh who am I kidding, Im writing it down right now. Best explanation ever

Great explanation Dr. Fur. Thanks for the input!
