Other parts of his pelage show evidence of his smoke Persian heritage. Mostly, it depends on how light hits Andy.

Andy and I miss Dougy
The lighting shows off Andy’s colors beautifully!
Yes! Black cat or not, he has several hints of his mother’s tabby markings and his Birman father’s dark points. The latter were especially noticeable after grooming.

Fifty shades of grey!
He does have highly vaiable colors.

He’s a very lovely Smoke Persian!
The older je gets, the prettier he is, I think.
Doug Thomas
Aww He’s really so adorable all curled up and snoozing, You really caught the smoke this time, too
A sleepy cat is easier to photograph…. LOL!
Doug Thomas
Is it showing his age?
Possibly, though it has been only since his last groomer quit for health reasons that Andy’s hair has been allowed to grow out fully.

My smoke Persian took over in my 20s

I had a black short-haired cat who got a few strands of white fur when she got older. One whisker turned white too.
This just started to be really pronounced recently.
