Cats fur

My black cat Felix is 2 years old now and still has different colored fur.
Do all black cats have lighter roots?

No, but a lot do. Felix must be gorgeous! *Pix are encouraged here at TCS! Just sayin.'*

Just an unsound coat, where the colour doesn’t go all the way through to the root.

Yes a lot of black cats do have grey roots as that would be the lighter color to black. All 3 of my cats have lighter roots. They are long hairs too

I have noticed Merlin who is a ginger tux tabby has creamy light roots. And the stripes on his middle body have maybe faded a bit.
