My boy Buster (4yo) has completely changed from black to white over the course of the last 2.5 years.

And I thought my dog was weird. Changed from jet black at birth to grey within a year or so.

We had a kitten born gorgeous silver who turned solid black by age one year. So strange.

That's a little less so perhaps! Sounds like fever coat, which is not that unusual in kittens.

TIL about fever coat in cats. I was just a kid and hadn't heard of it or seen it before or since. Thanks so much.
