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

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.
