If it's just fur fluffing and not that Timbit got heavier, and wider,
then...double check for mites.

To do so, take a white paper towel or some toilet tissue and
loosely swaddle (wrap) Timbit in it, leaving the head out.  Hold
for about a minute, and look towards the white toweling to
see if you see any pinpoint black or even red flecks jumping
off.

If you do, you need to get pyrenthin spray and start the 'die
mite die' routine.  If you don't, then I would say that Timbit
just likes to fluff...

What sort of bedding are you using?
