Why is my Siamese cat turning black?
Melanin is the pigment that gives black color to its coat. If your Siamese cat is fat, it can become darker. When they become fat, there are fewer veins inside adipose tissue than their inside muscles, and their temperature becomes lower also because of this. That is why the fatter a Siamese is, the darker they become.
Why does my Siamese cat have spots?
Because a cat’s body is cooler around her nose, ears, paws, and tail, that’s where pigment is most commonly deposited on Siamese cats. Most Siamese cats are born completely white and develop their markings in the weeks following birth. Because the womb is very warm and blocks the cat’s color gene from reaching her fur.
Do Siamese cats turn black in the cold?
The cooler the part of the cat’s body, the darker the fur. This is because the extremities of your body lose more heat than your core. Similarly, Siamese cats are cooler at their paws, nose, and tail, making their fur darker there as well.
