This is going to sound quite silly, but hear me out.
I adopted Maisie about 2.5 months ago. Her age is unknown; she was listed as 4 by the shelter, plays and acts like a very young cat, but her teeth are that of a much older feline (8-10+).
She has a pure grey coat... with the exception of these few white hairs on the back of her neck. There is a tiny cluster with a few longer hairs, and then a few stray hairs nearby. These white hairs have a slightly different texture than the rest of her fur and can grow much longer, as you can see. There are no other areas of white fur on her body.
My tuxedo cat has long white hairs that dot his black coat, but they are a very similar consistency than the rest of his fur and are spread out. These are all concentrated in this one area.
In your experience/opinion, are these most likely:

In your experience/opinion, are these most likely:
- Age hairs
- A sign of a possible medical issue (she has a full blood panel scheduled in two weeks)
- A sign of possible old injury
- Just a natural blotch of odd white
- Other?
