Hello! My orange rescue kitty just turned 1, and she has recently started to grow black hairs. At first it was a few on her belly, but now I am finding more growing all over...
Is this normal? I know cat fur changes color with age but I have never had this happen to my cats at such a young age...
Any one have any experience with this?
I am in the process of changing them from kitten food to adult cat food in case there is some sort of nutritional deficiency from the kitten food, but she is only 1, so again I don't know if that is really the issue... Thanks!

Can you share photos?

Color change is not unheard of from kitten to adult coats (which around 1 would be the end of that). Cats with blue eyes can have more dramatic changing as they age if they are affected by the colorpoint gene.
