Our springs around here are usually rather grey and chilly (we don't talk about May Gray and June Gloom for nothing!), and with each passing month, things heat up until we get to October, which is usually our hottest month (and the month which - until climate change - had our highest fire danger)(note: that aside is not meant to suggest that our fire danger has eased up - on the contrary, first season now runs year-round). While this year has been cooler than usual (for which I am grateful), it's hasn't exactly been chilly.
But, as she does every year around this time, Disco has started to grow in her winter coat. It's got to be the light, right? Because it's certainly not the temperature! All I can say is thank goodness she's a thoroughbred, which means even her thickest winter coat really isn't. (This pleases me, since I don't absolutely have to clip her, both because her coat isn't heavy and because she isn't in really heavy work. I love her winter coat - it's like a lovely cozy reddish brown velvet.)
Are your various animals growing their winter coats yet? Or is this just some weird Disco thing?

Based on the amount of cat hair I'm finding on things, our cats are definitely changing coats for winter.
