Hi JaRene,

The points are caused by body temperature. However, external temperature can impact the cat's color points. If the cat is only exposed to warm temperatures, many owners will see cats that develop more white than white with dark points. The development of points varies from cat to cat and area to area. Is it particularly hot where you live? Try keeping the cat indoors where it is air conditioned as much as possible. As the cat loses old fur and regains new, you may see the points become more prominent.

I've just seen a Himalayan Seal Point just over a year old lose colour in its mask and ears. Could that have something to do with enzymes?
