Hi there happy new year to everyone !
Now down to business
When Cleo adopted me she was pink all over with very pale blue patches up and down her body I shall show you what I mean now a real beauty

Can you see what I mean ?
As Cleo got a little older these blue patches
Became a darker shade of blue , to the point I would say she was equal pink and blue ( is that white and blue ? )
I love cleo’s markings she is my gawjus girl , I didn’t realise these markings would develope to be so dark ! But I am really impressed with her colouring
Did any of you find this the case with their naked baby ? Il show you how dark her markings have become

This probably isn’t the best picture I have of Cleo but you can see the changes !
So again did your little one change as he / she got older ?
Did you know their colourings would alter ?
Interested to know your replies
Hugs
Anita & Cleo xxx❤️❤️❤️

@Taunya i am very bias indeed she is stunning
I do hope you find your little one soon as no one can describe in words the love and bond that develops between a naked baby and his / her mummy daddy and family
My Cleo suckles on my skin between my thumb and index finger , her purr is amazing . And I feel totally relaxed like never before .. this is our bond

I haven't brought our boy home yet but he has blue outlining his ears as well as a darker tail and one bottom spot. They have gotten darker with every progress photo we get of him so I would assume they will darker as he ages :)

Cleo is very beautiful :)

Most darken up in the first year. It felt like a gift every day to see her change.

She went from what I called a smudge to a beauty.

Paris looked a lot like your Cleo when she was younger... very pink, with lightly shaded patches (sorry, can’t seem to find an old pic). Now, at age 4, I’d say she looks full-blown Calico, with definite lines of delineation between pink, peach and grey. Here she is today, doing what she does best, warming the blankets...

I believe that it is called a thermal or thermal quality. Marcus Antonio Anubis did almost exactly the same thing. His first picture, at 2 weeks old, shows him as a pink with pale brown patches. Now, at almost 4 years old, his patches have darkened quite a bit. Cleopatra came to us as a grey-and-white tuxedo, and has neither darkened or lightened.
Here's Markie at 12 weeks old on the day he came home, June 2013

And here he is, 6 months later, being naughty and going after Christmas presents in December of that same year. You can see that his patches are much darker. Notice that he doesn't look at all guilty either!

He still has his brown patches. They did not grow, but they did darken a bit more. He is still pink (white) with brown patches. Here's a picture from Christmas Morning last Monday--Markie, Cleo and I are all sound asleep in my recliner. In this picture, it is hard to see that he even has his brown spots. Your Cleo can be like him or more like Patti's @Catzzzmeow Jouet, who darkened considerably.
