Are these white hairs normal?

My lil kitten is about 6 months old and she's always had stray white hairs here and there but I've been noticing more white hairs popping up lately. Is this normal or could it be a sort of deficiency or something?

Pretty normal! Cat fur can have lots of interesting color variations.

Okay thanks for responding! So you think it's normal for their fur to change as they're growing into adulthood?

Yes. it does happen. I have a two year-old orange tabby. About half of her whiskers turned from white to black, and she's developed a dusting of black hairs on her muzzle that make her look like she has a dirty face (probably from her mother, a tortoiseshell short hair).

Yep! Fur can definitely change a bit as a kitten grows.
