Color issue

I know I shouldnt worry but ZOey is still turning red.... she just turned two when will this be over... she was white withlight orage with darker orange marlbing when I got her at about 8 months .. well nearly fifteen months later she is still turning.. she darkened to red and the white is shedding out and red is coming in... Do some cats take years for there "adult color to come in??

my vet says she is healthy

It might help to see some comparrison pics. Any you can post?

The red color can take longer to become the full true color - For example, red point siamese/colorpoints will take a few years - during the kitten phase its light red but if you see the same cat at a year or 2, etc. the red points will be a lot darker then as a kitten.

I think that is happening.. so I just need a chill pill???.. she is a marble tabby>?? but it makes sence

I would but I am not good witha camera and have very few pic s of her and they are still in the camera( I am not digital yet)

In Europe the "marble" is the same tabby as "classic" in America. Since you mentioned swirling, you would have a red classic tabby. If the base coat (by the skin) is still white, then she would be a smoke red classic tabby.

Wow she sounds absolutely gorgeous. Autumns color is still coming in but not as strong as what you are describing. She is 2.

In my not so humble opinion I say seh is ... she has some white tipping but the next to skin is red and rust( not offical but) ... she also has glitter .. one day I will get a pic of her on here...

I wish i remembered where but someone has a pic of a red bengal with her patern ... Zoey still has white but I can see the rust shading on another inch but the looked alot alike..
