Cat Changing Color

[catfamily]

I think maybe someone colored his fur before brought in to the shelter.
OR...he is very sick from something.Maybe stress from before you guys got him.If it's from sickness or past related stress...it's highly unusual.
I'd get blood work anyway.Maybe cut some hair...save it to see if it was colored.
Strange.That would really scare me a bit.
I hope it was just someone coloring it.
But..I hope if it WAS colored...I hope it didn't hurt it's insides.
Poor thing

Does your kitty look like this? The coats these cats have are called "black smoke" and are perfectly normal - I think these cats are stunning!

Crazy Cat Lover I do think that is exactly what Beau must be!!
This Picture was taken when we first brought him home..



This picture was taken on Sept 2nd


This was taken yesterday.


Cat Family Beau had been sick before we brought him home with an upper respiratory infection and the shelter had him in foster care but he had been brought back to the shelter. He was still taking Baytril when he came home to us but is finished now. The shelter had him 3 months (including the foster care time) so its not likely he was colored with something thank goodness.

That's good news.
He looks great in his pictures.

I've had several foster cats that went from black, to gray, and back to a shiny, shimmery black again! Nothing wrong, just interesting!

He's a real beauty!
