When people mention the Siamese cat, I think it’s not just the slim, smooth lines of its body that they like, or the blue eyes of the Siamese cat that look like a lake. Rather, it’s the Siamese cat’s coat that changes color, which I also found amazing from the time I learned about this cat breed. So do you know why Siamese cats change color?
In general, the Siamese cat’s coat color changes with age, body temperature and environmental temperature, the colder it is, the darker it is, and the hotter it is, the whiter it is. Therefore many Siamese kittens just born from their mother’s body usually have a whiter coat and begin to develop darker color patches as they grow and their body temperature changes.
In addition to Siamese cats, there are cats that have accent color blocks like Siamese cats, such as accent colored Ragdolls (details), Himalayan Persian cats (details), and other cats that often have all white cats when they are young and grow up to be darker and darker. Cold weather and low temperatures can cause the Siamese cat’s coat to turn black. Also, Siamese cats that are sick and have a fever can also change their coat color, and the owner can determine if the Siamese cat has a fever based on whether the cat’s coat color has become lighter. However, the color of a Siamese cat’s coat will eventually return to its original color, meaning that changes in coat color, whether caused by weather, temperature or its own body temperature, will gradually return to normal over time.
So, the Siamese cat’s coat is really an amazing existence. A small and cute cat that has the skill to change its coat color with its temperature senses is really amazing to see. Are you also moved to have a Siamese cat?
