Rare 'Galaxy Kitty' Develops Starry Coat Due to Unique Condition

Reported 6 months ago

A woman adopted two homeless cats, thinking they were ordinary domestic shorthairs, but one developed a rare skin condition resulting in a coat that resembles a night sky full of stars. Named Gatsby, the bicolor cat has vitiligo, causing white speckles to appear on his black fur as he ages. The condition, purely cosmetic, may continue to change Gatsby's appearance as he grows older. Unlike cats with genetic mutations for fancy new breeds, there's no guarantee Gatsby's offspring would inherit his unique coat.
