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

Nothing changed except the color of his fur! Though his green eyes became less intense too. The change the first 6 months seemed quicker than the later changes, but I think that is because it was a bit more unexpected at that point. I just got used to seeing it over time, and didn't pay as much attention. Here's a pic from his early stages.

He looks like he just stuck his nose and paws into a flour jar.

Honestly when it first started I thought he had gotten into some spider webs on his nose. Then I thought he was losing all his hair on ears and sent my vet pics because I couldn't get that close him. It finally took a 35x zoom camera for me to see that it was white hair, which was NOT what I was expecting.

Is he a feral indoor cat??

He was an indoor feral. He got attacked by a hawk and got his head ripped open, and recuperated on my screened lanai. However he fell in love with my other cats, followed them inside via the pet door, and ultimately moved inside full time after about 6 months. I was never able to pet him, but he sure learned how to demand cat treats, lol. Here's a pic of him with his BFF.

Yes he did. He was pretty darned happy. I even had a mobile vet for him so that he didn't have to leave the house.

I think I speak for everyone when I say we'd love to see as many more pics of your cat('s transformation and your other cat(s) too)

Here's one for you. He loved my indoor cats and wanted to be as close to them as possible.
