Hi, i'd like to get your thoughts of what this is all about before i go to a vet with such a silly question.
My adopted stray of about 2 mos. has gone from jet black and white to having an undercoat of gray. The change is 'dramatic' because the longer, silkier, outer coat *seems* to now be getting replaced with this downy gray layer underneath so much so that you can see stripes for the first time in the black and the black fur looks "thinner" and much less dense.
Seeing as how we in the southeast US have been just granted a 5 degree "reprieve" from a heat wave, and she spends 99% of her time indoors in the a/c, the change from summer to fall-ish, doesn't seem to explain it to me, (it's still HOT) but i know nothing of their internal rhythms/cycles.
Is this just a stage i missed out on in previous kittens? I've normally adopted older cats.
She is perfectly healthy, she is energetic and eating extremely well.
There are no bald patches, skin changes, broken skin, scratches, parasites, or *any* other signs/symptoms. Just a weird new fur look lol for her
