They are all looking sleek now...unlike the cute fluffy babies they
were a week or so ago. I am impressed with Esters cinnamon coloring.

My guys changed colours too. And the fur of the "baby" boys was
velvety but changed to being coarse and greasy. I guess when they get
the snip they will be less greasy.

The boys at 19 weeks (and Barkley at..um..over 1yr) don't feel all
that greasy. Certainly less than I imagined they would be. They do
have a lovely orange skin under their fur though. Barkley is molting
too, from the tail up, he looks two toned now.

The girls have almost finished molting, just need the bit between
their ears to change.
