Pam, Your description of Sunny is exactly what Silk looked like when he was younger. On the invoice we got with him, he was called a Sterling Silvermitt. As he has aged, he's gotten lighter. Now he has a coat of combined white and cream hairs with a few black hairs on the spine and a gold tail. Could someone in the know explain the different colors? I know sable, albino, black-eyed white...but what are butterscotch, gold, panda, sable mitt, badger stripe? I'm way behind the times! Also, has anyone come up with a reson for my guy to be drinking so much? Seems like everyone's medical questions get answered but mine :(. I just worry about my guy.
