My black cat is nearly 4 months old and suddenly grew a lot of white hairs around its whiskers and on its body. What is going on?
A 4-month black cat growing white stray hairs may be due to genetics—its parents were not solid black, so it carries some albinism genes, and usually there is no need to worry. Poor nutrition (lack of lecithin, vitamins or certain trace elements) can also change coat color; try lecithin and multivitamin supplements and keep the diet balanced.
