I guess he want's to look more like our Storm instead of Tubby, Casper or Pepper. Silly kitty!

Awww, how sweet. I was also thinking that it could have been due to his mange. When Pepper was sick he had to have some of his fur buzzed off. It also came back kind of a grayish white. I asked the vet about this and he said that this will sometimes happen in black cats but he doesn't know the reason. It's just one of life little mysteries.

A few weeks after we got him, he started getting gray hairs in his black fur (I thought they were white and they he'd be a tuxy). I think he's still a kitten, still growing into what color/size he's suposed to be. His littermate was all grey...so maybe that's why he's turning colors. He WAS the runt in the litter. He is only four months old still.

I will call the vet though and let you all know if there is a problem with him.

Here's the "real" color he is turning...a pale gray:

Just called the vet...they said it was OK for his hair to turn colors, if it was falling out, then it would be a problem.

Yay! I'm so glad...

Basil is such a cutie! It is so interesting that he's changing colors like that! LOL I do like the 'salt-n-pepper' look he's displaying. I wonder if he'll turn completely grey or retain the black/grey coloration! How neat!

Basil is so cute he has grown lots too!

Kelly, I love his new look. It really makes him very unique.

I'm glad to hear that the vet thinks it's okay!

I think when his siblings have also been grey, it's kind of genetic. But I never saw a kitten changing its color so much, he's really special!
