Cat of a different color

cat- black 3

This fluffy kitty surprised her human one winter by growing a magnificent white winter mane. “My black cat unexpectedly grew a white winter mane one year,” the human wrote via reddit.
“The vet checked her out but couldn’t detect any illness or injury… The mane was in its full glory during our next trip to the vet, and he was once again at a loss to explain what was going on with my cat.”
Someone on reddit suggested that his cat “looks like she has a grayish undercoat that filled in magnificently during winter.” The human responded: “This is probably right, but there’s no apparent rhyme or reason to when or how it will show up from year to year. You can see a little gray around her hind legs in the more recent pic, although those patches didn’t appear at all until her black winter coat had grown in, and her mane was always black down to the roots. It’s strange that the lighter fur only substantially overwhelmed the black during winter #3 of 4.”
“She was 3 when that pic was taken in early 2013 and her most recent winter coat was all black.”

Well a cat must stay up to date with fashion daa-aarling ;)

That is a lovely cat but I'm sure that the fur gets EVERYWHERE!

EVERYWHERE

Warne is extremely jealous of this and is once again plotting a rejig to his shape changing spell (he and Baltazaar are collaborating). Ranel is disdainful and says he doesn't need a mane to prove he is magnificent.

This is a natural seasonal change. Many species do this to blend in with the snow. Tell Warne it's like putting on an overcoat for the cold season.
But this could be someone that is interested in Buttercup or one of the boys. Watch Ranel and Warne as they remember how they met and fuss about the kittens are too young.

Warne says no kitten of his is allowed to start dating until they're at least thirty (decades that is). And they are especially not allowed to go near perverted old wizards who cajole them into heat far too young.

My first cat used to grow an awesome winter ruff. It didn't change color but would grow so long and luxurious we had to help her keep it clean and knot free. I keep hoping Barney will grow one but nothing so far.

So the children are going to be home schooled and not sent off to the Academy?
