Hi everyone!
My long fur black cat Kiwi was entirely black when I adopted her. She was 2 years old at time of adoption.
Within a few months she developed a small patch of white ticked fur behind her left ear. The patch has gotten larger as is now about 2 inches in diameter. She also got a second white patch in her neck ruff, but it appears to be in her undercoat (or at least there is black fur covering the patch). This patch is less ticked with black.
I have had the vet do a full blood test/physical on her and she was very healthy (though a little chubby), so I am not particularly worried for her safety, but I was wondering if anyone on here is familiar with this kind of fur change for such a young adult cat. Maybe the white was always there? She is now 7. Hopefully I used the right terminology. I can try to grab a picture when I get home.
