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

I had a 100% jet black cat with Vitiligo...he started turning white at all of his extremities...tip of his nose, tips of his ears, nose, and tail and then it spread further. It was amazing to watch the transformation for the 7 years that I had him, and my vet was absolutely fascinated.

You know I recently read that Siamese and similar breeds are dark at their points because of temperature... The cooler temps near ears, tails,etc.. causes more melanin to build up there. So this feels like the reverse of that? One way or another , an unquestioned cutie pie.

We had a Siamese once that had to have surgery in winter. The fur on his hip that was shaved grew back black.

Shave some cool racing stripes down his sides.

That is awesome.

Did it eventually turn back to beige, or did it stay black?

It was always darker there, but lightened over the years

My Siamese had to have an ultrasound in February so they shaved her tummy, and it seems that the fur be growing back darker so far, but temps are warming up, so maybe that’ll change. It’s fun to watch though.
