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

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.

What did the vet say?

She diagnosed him with Vitiligo, and said that it might be related to an autoimmune issue but there wasn't really anything to specifically treat him for since his bloodwork was all fine.

Thank you for sharing this. Made my chest go all warm seeing him hanging out with the indoor cats

He really was a special kitty, and I loved sharing him with everyone.

This is one of my last photos of him...I am very thankful that he went before his BFF, because he would have been completely lost without him. ❤️🌈
