I have two colour-point persians (aka abbysinians) named "come here
you little ******" and " for gods sake get out of the fridge", well
they're actually called Fudge and Lucy.
Recently their coats have started to seem dry and tend to knot very
easily, their appx 9 months old, don't go outdoors, and their diet
hasn't changed (not to say isn't varied!)
Any thoughts on why this might be would be most welcome, could it
be that they are reaching the cat equivalent of puberty???
Thanks in anticipation,
Russell Amer UK (Brush in each hand!)

Hi Russell...
I think you mean those colour-point persians are Himalayans, not
abbys. But, anyway...I would say that based on their age, the cats
are just starting to get their adult, thick winter coats. They DO
knot alot....you have to comb them at least once or twice a day to
keep them looking nice and feeling comfortable. Kitten coat is easy
to take care of but gets more difficult as the cats get older. You
may also want to add a little cod liver oil or mirra-coat to their
food to help with the dryness for the winter time.

Yep, you were right; I did mean Himalayans!
