If it’s not meant to be a bum warmer, then why is it warm?

What a handsome lad. I like when black cats’ furs turn brown under sunlight. And those fluffy paws tho. <3

I heard black cats are said to “rust” in the sun. Because the sun can slowly make their fur go light brown.

I didn’t know that. I thought it was a basic optical thing.

To be honest I think it is an optical thing most of the time. IE your cat was never really black but the usual lighting doesn’t show the true color.

But cats that do spent a lot of time in direct sunlight may get slighter lighter brown with time.

I couldn’t find any study or data on this so it may also be a cat legend :p

I know my cat is very much light brown in the sun even though she doesn’t spent that much time under the sun.

To be fair, he needs it more than you do.

When you mix a square-ish surface plus warms, you have yourself a cat bed. It’s the laws of nature. 🐱
