For a minute I thought he just had fur that changed color/pattern right on his hindquarters. Buh, I have no brain.
Poor baby, I hope he gets well soon!
‘no brain’, NO WAY.
Comments like yours are legit some of my favorite because I get to talk about COOL COAT PATTERNS IN CATS. There are cases where shaving a cat has resulted in a drastic coat pattern change.
SAY HELLO TO QUATTRO
Before he was shaved, his fur was pretty typical siamese: all creamy with just his legs, face, and tail dark. But now his whole flank is dark.
Why?
Because Siamese points are actually a result of temperature-dependent albinism! 😀 Also known as
acromelanism, this is a neat little mutation in which a specific enzyme (tyrosinase, which is responsible for melanin production) stops functioning at a normal body temperature, but will function when it gets cooler. So in cool zones on a cat’s body (face, ears, tail, feets), melanin production is normal. The warm zones develop in a lovely cream.
Since his butt is cold, it has normal melanin production. Once it gets all fuzzy and starts a typical shed pattern, it’ll come in cream eventually. Until then, he’ll have weird pants.
Genetics are weird and AWESOME.
It got even better
Wait so what about the first cat? We’re his pants always that different to his jacket or are his new pants different to his old ones??
Jonah’s pants are just slow growing. His pants look different bc they’re still growing in.

So I’m rewatching the ep where Olivier kills General Raven and uses her gloves to clean her sword and BUCCANEER JUST PULLS A SPARE PAIR OUT OF HIS JACKET???? Does he just keep spare gloves on him at all times for her?? Did he come prepared because he knew she was going to kill Raven??? DOES HE KNOW THAT LITTLE THINGS LIKE THIS KEEP ME UP AT NIGHT?????
