Mystery Solved: Why This Kitty Connoisseur's Cute Color-Changing Cat Goes From Whiskery White to Luscious Latte After Adoption

We've seen a lot of cats on the internet. We've seen unique cats with rare fur patterns, cats with multiple colors, starry-night vitiligo cats, and even cats born with an extra set of ears. But, we've never seen a color-changing cat before. This sultry siamese cat was mostly white when this kitty connoisseur adopted them, and seven months later, they are the color of a luscious latte! What gives? Turns out that this process actually has a scientific explanation!

Siamese cats have a unique colorpoint pattern that allows their fur to change based on their body temperature. Neat, huh? This purrfectly awwdorable feature is a form of albinism, and is found mostly in flamepoints and siamese cats. The other, less scientific, option is that this feline fanatic left their kitty in the oven too long and he turned brown. Oh well, burnt is better than nothing!
