I have a little black female cat - August 18 she was opened up to be spayed. Now I know it is very common for fur to grow back another color, such as white, around an incision or wound and that's not what I'm asking about.
The odd thing is that everywhere she was shaved is growing back light grey or even white.
There's definite edges where it stops so it looks like a it will eventually be a patchy greyish rectangle on her belly. Because no one knew she was already spay she was shaved for a larger than normal area for a larger incision to be made.
Her normal under coat is matte black, so I'm not getting how undamaged skin would grow it out a different color.
Has anyone had a cat grow back fur of another color just from being shaved? I'd think it wouldn't be very common as it would present a problem for those shaving long haired cats.
