There has been a theory floating around the internet that the reason cats have white bellies is because the color of the animal's fur begins to form from the spine.
Supposedly, the wool that did not have time to become colored during the formation of the fetus remains white.
This opinion became so viral that many people began to believe it.
Let's see if this logic makes any sense.
Does color affect the behavior of a domestic cat?
A cat's pattern is influenced by a large number of genetic factors. Whiteness is due to the fact that melanin does not have time to mature in the hair cells.
There is also a theory that pigment cells migrate evenly across the entire surface of the skin.
It is believed that color can influence the behavior of a cat. For example, tricolor cats are the most impulsive, and single-color pets are more docile. Also, many have noticed that a black cat is the most devoted.
