My cat, Thumper, is a mixed Maine Coon cat, about 7 years old. She is mostly black and white and gray. But over the past year or two the fur on her back (which should be black) seems to be turning red. Could it be caused from the sun?
I notice Frost has a bit of a reddish/brownish tint to his fur. Not sure if it's new or I just noticed it. He's an indoor kitty and only 6 months old. His undercoat is grey, but he use to have a lot of grey hair on his back which is why they named him Frost at the shelter. He turned a brilliant black and white after we took him home, but now I notice some reddening of his black hair.I'm glad you asked because i just noticed this on my male tuxedo cat. His neck fur is turning a rusty red. He seems healthy, but it's so strange! Could it be diet?
