Why is my black kitten turning into “salt and pepper”? 🖤
It can be surprising to see a black kitten suddenly develop silver or white hairs, but it’s not always a cause for concern.
This change can be linked to stress, illness, nutritional deficiencies, or temporary changes in pigment production. In some kittens, the coat returns to solid black after the first moult as new fur grows in.
If your kitten is active, eating well, and growing normally, there’s usually no need to worry. However, if the coat change is accompanied by hair loss, weight loss, or other signs of illness, a veterinary check-up is recommended.
