Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / February 2007Miss Pua
I finally got a decent picture of Pua. She was sitting in my chair, looking at me and sat still enough for me to get the camera. The stripe on her body is a shadow from the arm of the chair; her body is basically white. Thought I'd share. Oh, for those of you that remember, when she showed up at my door a year and a half ago, she was grossly skinny, riddled with ringworm and was a mess. I think she's blossomed. :~) http://i13.tinypic.com/49j8ion.jpg kili > I finally got a decent picture of Pua.

She was too frail to even take to the vet right away, so we fed her for a week and then took her in for shots, spaying, etc. We had to isolate her for 3 months until the ringworm was gone, but it's all been worth it. She's a happy member of the household, now. kili >>Do you still have a "before" photo of Pua?

[quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > kili Meezers often get darker as they age. The degree to which pigment shows in Meezers is tied to skin temperature, so they darken in the winter (assuming that it gets colder in the winter), and as mammals age their metabolic rates drop, so the skin gets cooler. This is also why the color shows on the extremities... the skin temperature is cooler than the body.

How wonderful to have her following you, and those big [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > It seems to be true for all pointed cats - Himmies, Ragdolls, etc. I meant to add a post to this long ago, and forgot! What I've heard about pointed cats is that their markings are heat-sensitive. Their points are always the darker areas because there is less circulation (or heat) in those areas. My theory is that when a pointed cat gets older, they tend to get darker in general because their circulation slows down. Our last siamese got darker in her later years, her body color and her points. She also had a large cyst on her shoulder that was filled with a watery substance that the vet really didn't want to remove at her age. It was harmless but really stuck out. That area turned very dark brown too, being away from the body. She developed another "point." Two of the kittens born to our last stray were tan. I'd never seen a yellowish/tan cat before. Well, within 24 hours, they started developing points! I think they were nice and warm inside mom and in the real world, the temperature dropped. Rhonda >>>>Her fur and markings have really come in. She's an extremely >>>>beautiful cat. How wonderful to have her following you, and those big [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] > > Rhonda Princess (Siamese RB 16) got very dark in her old age. However, in the last few months of her life, her fur got lighter and lighter. When she died she was almost ivory color. (How I miss her). MLB >>>>>Her fur and markings have really come in.

When she > died she was almost ivory color. (How I miss her). MLB Her fur got lighter? That's interesting. What did she die from? Is there any possibility her system was heating up, like a thyroid problem? We did have a pointed rabbit, white with black points, who one summer went completely white. It was during a drought/heat wave in the midwest. It was terrible, we lived in the upper floor of a house and for a couple of months the temp hit 100 degrees every day. It didn't quit. When Buns molted during that time, he became a white rabbit. I felt so bad, he must have been incredibly hot! He did get some relief by laying against the base of the toilet, and we kept wetting down his ears. In the fall with the next molt, he got his points back. Rhonda >>>>>>Her fur and markings have really come in. She's an extremely >>>>>>beautiful cat. How wonderful to have her following you, and those big [quoted text clipped - 43 lines] > > Rhonda Yes, she was hyper thyroid and couldn't tolerate the medication. The Vet said she had no chance of surviving surgery. At that time I was recovering from knee and hip surgery and could not walk well - could not get to the floor and could not drive -- I had no help with her at all, so nature had to take its course. It stil tears me up to think of it. MLB Amazing transformation! It's like an after picture on Extreme Makeover :-) Great job and what a beautiful cat.

I mean GROSS - almost not touchable. So skinny, I don't think she would have lived another day and patchy fur from ringworm. It took about a year to get her completely well, but now she's content, comfortable, she plays with the other cats in the house and she's just a sweetie.
