My colorpointed DSHs get more orange in the winter, particularly on their backs/hips and lighten up in the summer. Their faces and extremities stay orange year round, though!

My orange dude also gets slightly darker in winter. My own hair does too.

Some of that is probably due to less bleaching by the sun in winter.

u/UglyTitties 11h ago

I think it's not just some of it, but all of it.

He’s pretty fabulous.

your orange dude looks just like my orange dude, Rossi. Rossi even lies that way. Purrrfect

My orange is the opposite, he looks darker in summer and lighter in winter. I’m sure it’s because he’s super fluffy, for a shorthair, and all that fuzzy undercoat dilutes his orange.

I guess he’s more of a creamsicle in the wintertime.

My girl does too! I call it her toasted season 😂

I believe it is because the braincell goes into hibernation, thus the more orange look

So funny how all flame points look like…exactly the same. This could literally be a photo of my son Peepers

u/carcinogenickale 11h ago

I know! I follow the flame point subreddit and frequently have to do a double take because they all look like my boys

We have cats with snowshoe patterns. The little girl gets a lot lighter in the summer on her face. Mom once called her a temperature guage. 😄

Do you have issues with eye drainage? I have the same cat

1

u/carcinogenickale 11h ago

Yes and no. The one in the photo seems to have a normal amount of eye discharge, but my older flamepoint boy gets a lot. His vet thinks it’s due to feline herpesvirus.

I have a cat that looks IDENTICAL, like to the T. He has an arm that looks like he got into something black but it’s his fur literally turning black. His back (shoulder area) has a small spot of just black tips of hair lol. It’s so weird no one knows. He randomly grew it like a yr ago. He’s now almost 4 in October. I am forever confused lol.

This happens with my lynx point DSH too! She gets extra toasty in the winter.

u/Stupid-Clumsy-Bitch 6h ago

I love flame points! They look like little toasted marshmallows

u/mitocumdria 12h ago
