Summary

Note the slow pigment change around the nose and eyes. Note this is not an extreme case of slow melanocyte migration to the skin and fur, which makes the cat almost completely white. Melanocyte progression, occurs only in the developing embryo and affects the distriubtion of coloured patches appear on the body surface.
