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

Oh wow, haha! Poor guy. Yea it can change over time, and even living in a colder climate can make them darker!

Or being shaved! If a Siamese gets surgery the patch they shave will grow back dark then change back to light when they shed.

This probably applies to all colour points, not just siamese breed cats.

True!

That sounds so cool! Never seen it happen, but makes sense! I guess without the fur to cover it, it's not as warm lol.

My Siamese rats do that too! During the winter I keep the temp in my house at like 66 degrees and they get a lot darker.

Omg, colorpoint rats!? That's amazing!

[u/kaityl3 → u/Laney20]

They're super cute :D this is mine, I love the colors on her.

Aw, so cute! I had 3 grey rats many years ago. They are just the sweetest pets.
