Expert Answer

A Siamese cat shows color change around 3 months after birth, with coat color changing. Its color also changes with temperature: above 33 C the tyrosinase activity drops and the coat lightens; below 33 C the activity rises and the coat darkens. This temperature-related color change is normal, so the owner need not worry.
