It is hard to see much difference in the coat from the photos, however grooming/trimming can remove the undercoat and make a cat look less fluffy until it has grown back in. Making sure your cat is on the correct nutrition can also ensure their coat stays healthy and full. If you suspect an illness or underlying issue causing it, a vet visit is best to rule out these issues or have them treated.
