I have black cats so, the gray hairs show up pretty well, and them turning 5 and 6, well Im thinking a few isnt unusual...however...I noticed a patch of grays on the back of one..and realized, just a short time ago she had an injury in the same place.
Is this normal? Anyone experience or know of this happening?
I dont think I should be overly concerned but, when I came upon that realization it just made me think perhaps I should think on it more.
For what it's worth, Barney regenerated hide and hair over a two inch lenght of leg and it all came back like the original black.
This is a non-answer, of course, but it is my only recent experience with feline injuries.
You see, thats what I would think...that if there was colored hair there afore that, it would be colored hair now....
wasnt a serious injury either, which is why it took me a bit to put it together
Horses with injuries will sometimes have their hair come back white. For example, a horse that has a tight fitting saddle will frequently have white spots on its back where it has rubbed a saddle sore. Yet when my horse's ear had a growth removed, everything came back pure black.
Our cat is a tabby, so it would be impossible to tell! He's all shades of brown plus gray and tan and white.
I have often had cats grow white hair back over a injury. Don't worry!
I thought this was a thread about the little sods giving US grey hairs!
well..I could attribute a few of my own folicles to the little beasties but, Im sure it doesnt work the other way round...Im too good of a slave!
Good to hear that others have had animals have this, now I can rest a bit easier...thanks folks
Honestly, Quinn, I prefer your present avatar over all the previous.
Why thank you....I thought the bondage bear a bit too much...and frankly...I think it gave the wrong impression
imagine that
However, im now worried that you cant see this well enough....a squishy veggie thingy???????????
I like your mouse as well
Interesting question and answers. With all the cats I've had, this has never happened.
Quinn
When I look at you avatar I see a pizza, lol.
mmmmm, pizza....
About the hair..... I don't think it's unusual, but I don't know why I think that it isn't....
Quinn, I see some sort of cellular form with a lot of antigens coating the cell wall, stained with particularly colorful dyes..
I too thought the gray hairs were on the humans..
Yeah, maybe a funky pizza, lol
When I get hungry, I see Pizzas and Cheesburgers everywhere. In that avatar, a hungry bear has left footprints on my pizza.
Roger is too polite to mention that he is a RAT!!!!!!!!
Quinn, what colours are your avatar? (There seems to be no way of making the number correct in that sentence!)
My monitor is tres weird, and I do not see colours properly.
a bear tromped across my pizza...okay..thats hysterical actually...I was thinking of making it b/w because I had actually made it color to be colorful and all <dlowan..its all kinds of colors actually> but, now Im just leaving it alone I think....its fine, its funny now actually
oh yes, and the cat thing...you know, I didnt realize that they would have gray hair so early on, but then again being all black...it probably just makes it easier to see.
k..I didnt think it unusual either until I put it together with the injury, thats all really...and not that its unusual either..just a bit strange I think.
cats ARE strange, really, when you come down to it...which I have.....
Stumble It!
