Our newest addition, Orion, has me stumped. I can't seem to tell if he is a Black & White Bi-Color or a Brown/Chocolate & White Bi-Color.
When I take his photo, he is very dark looking in the picture but in person only his ears are truly that dark and his other patches all have this brownish/hazy kind of look to them. My family and I have been going back and forth on what his true coloring might be. My main question, can black fur on kittens appear to be brown/chocolate before they are grown? My first Black & White Bi-Color was definitely a black and white as a kitten, not this brownish/hazy look that Orion has and my solid black kitten, Galaxy was also definitely a true black, even as a newborn.
Again, the pictures make him appear darker than he really is in person, but what do you think? Can black appear as brown/chocolate at an early age?
