Cat Chat Feline Forum

Not my cat, neighbours. Googled why this happened. Answer: Tyrosine problem? Not gonna explain it here. Much too long. Anyone else have a cat with this problem?

I've seen horses where the black hair turns brown when it's ready to be shed. But that's more likely to happen in spring. It would be interesting to get a closer look at this cat and see if there's any new growth of black under the brown.

That's the closest I can get. Too close and does a runner. An all black that was taken in as a stray by next door showing signs. But have to look careful. This one more friendly. But only just!!

There was a thread on this a few months back, I do believe Tyrosene deficiency is the issue:
