🖤 BLACK SMOKE — a little demon with the sweetest soul
Black Smoke is one of the most dramatic Maine C**n colors. With their dark faces, piercing eyes, huge ears and silver coats, adult Black Smokes can look almost like little demons. 😈
But the appearance is wonderfully deceptive. Behind that wild, mysterious look, they can be incredibly gentle, affectionate and sweet-natured Maine C**ns.
And perhaps the most fascinating part of Black Smoke is watching the color develop.
Black Smoke kittens are born looking almost completely black, sometimes with just a few lighter grey areas on the face and body. As they grow, the pale silver undercoat gradually becomes more visible. The coat gets longer, the contrast becomes stronger, and that little dark kitten slowly transforms into a spectacular silver-and-black adult.
Here are father and son. ❤️
The little boy is only at the beginning of his transformation — and his dad shows us a glimpse of what may be waiting ahead.
Same color. Same bloodline. Two completely different stages of Black Smoke. 🖤✨
