And his brother Hermes

I met Fish when my friend called me and told me there was a little black cat hiding under the staircase at her apartment. We pulled her out to find that she had an avulsion laceration on her chin and a cut on her nose. We took her to the emergency vet, they told me that she was a he, so the name Fisher came along. Shortly after, at her first regular vet check, it was confirmed that she was in fact a she… but the name was already locked in. After many fun times with 3+ syringe meds twice daily, and much care with her injuries, I got her back to normal. She is crazy, chaotic, and sweet! Like I said, when I met her she was a little black cat, but overtime I’ve seen some changes. After doing some research I discovered the smoke coat situation and I’m thinking it’s highly possible. So, I’d love to hear opinions from others!

Pushing 6 months and 8+ lbs! I'm creating a little outdoor monster but we both love it😅😻

We are beyond devastated for our loss - I can’t stop crying. He was such a character - so full of life. How will I ever get over this

RIP Cooper - forever six months old

My son 🐈‍⬛🖤🦇

He flopped on my foot and we had a scritch session.

Would she be considered black smoke or grey?

He is 3 months old.

I think she looks like a sweetie pie. She’s almost 1 years old next month. Her coat is growing out so beautifully. She’s only around 7lbs. I wonder if she’ll grow more? Is this her final coat?

This is my baby girl Tigre I love her so much!! She’s very sweet my landlord is letting me keep her when I move!

hello everyone! i just wanted to show off my sweet girl, freya! i’ve had her for around 2 months now and she’s growing into the sweetest, most loving, and vocal kitties i’ve ever met!

Little buddy walked into my apartment 3 months ago and knew he was home. I love this cat so fucking much.

I have gotten SO much back and forth about whether or not my Onyx is black smoke or not, so I’m bringing her to the experts (Reddit lmao).

Age: 17.5 weeks (kitten coat has been changing lots since 12 weeks)

Undercoat / Roots: NO white or silver, YES gray.
(getting this main point out right away)
There ARE silvery roots in some spots, but only where her gray highlights / sections are, other sections are definitely DARK gray* (closer to black than silver)
*See last pic

Photo Timeline: anywhere between 12-17.5 weeks

Ear furnishing: Silver

Underbelly, back of legs, under tail, chest: Gray or silver

Ghost stripes: 100%

I know I know, no stark white roots, no black smoke. That’s what I’ve been thinking too, but I’ve had a lot of people counter this and say it may be because of her adult fur tips coming in dilute it or that she’s a deep black smoke. Not sure, would love your opinion!

Meet Oisín! He’s a black smoke Oriental Shorthair. Still a kitten, he’s almost 10 months old. He looks so serious in these photos, but he’s really a very energetic lovebug!
