My kitty-cat is pretty.

So, when we got Nick and Nora, Nick was basically grey and white. And he still mostly is, except, over the past year, some of his medium-grey is starting to get a little bit of an orange-russet tone. It's pretty subtle, but I think it's very becoming on him. (And, no, he's not rolling in something orange or something like that -- we have our cats professionally bathed every few months.)

Anyone else heard of this -- three-year-old cats having subtle color changes? It's pretty.

I have a cat now. When I got her at the start of spring, she was tan and black. As the summer went on, the tan fur turned grey/white. Now that it has gotten colder again, that part of her fur has gone back to being tan. I don't think that I have seen a cat that changes fur color with the season before, but apparently I own one now. My cat is four years old, so close to the age of Nick and Nora.

Might be part siamese? Their ability to make pigment is based on skin temperature. My neighbor's outdoor siamese turned nearly solid brown every (midwestern) winter.
