Persian-Himmy cross color change

Sorry if I open this thread in the wrong topic (mods feel free to move it). 

Guys, you can see my persian-himmy cross at my avatar. When I first got her she was dark brown with light cream around her neck and body. Now she is 6 month old and she is completely dark brown, almost black. When I brush her I can see that the undercoat is very light almost cream. Is this due to the fact that its winter here, so I've heard that himmies like Siamese became darker when the weather is colder. Or maybe its the nutrition or something. 

Hope is not health related 

I was very blond as a child; now my hair is dark brown and beginning to go gray. I suspect this kind of thing is common to all creatures with hair.

Your cat looks like a Smoke.

I have a long haired black cat, not any particular breed, just a mix of Japanese bob-tail and stay cats. She changes colour with the seasons. In the winter she is black with a pale grey undercoat, in the summer her fur is a reddish brown colour in places but her head and paws are still black.

I don't think it's anything to worry about, I think you're just seeing the affects of colder weather on her coat.

I've never know up till now how to describe my cat colors in English. Thanks for that and yes it seems that my cat is a black smoke 

Should post more recent pic though. 

She is beautiful!!! I have only seen a handful of registered Himalayans and they all had ice blue eyes.  I double checked and that is a breed standard. She has beautiful amber eyes.  What is her name?

Her name is Becca. Yes, she has copper eyes from her mother who was a solid orange-cream persian but her father was a himmy. Looking at the internet I could classify her as a chocolate persian cat who is said to be introduced through the combination of Persian and Himalayan. 

Welcome to you and Becca!! I have two shorthair black cats. They are brothers, but one has green eyes like his mother and the other has amber eyes like his father. If you look up Posiepurrs pictures she has some beautiful Persians.

Here is a picture I made today. I guess I took her by surprise 

Thanks Margret, looking at her appetite I highly doubt something like that could happen
