I have a charcoal gray cat. Someone told me that the genetics of such cats are
weird, and that they sometimes have health problems as a result, but I haven't
been able to find anything about that.

Does anyone know anything about this, and could you point me toward a good
website?

Thanks!

I've never heard anything about charcoal gray cats having health issues. One
of my cats is a charcoal gray tuxedo and knock on wood, he's very healthy. I
really wouldn't worry about it as long as your kitty appears to be healthy and
gets regular vet checkups.

My cat Mousey lived to 19 with no health problems till the
end.
Her mother was a tortois shell.
