26. We’ve had to update this list to add one more amazing animal fact to the list. Cats can be born with a ‘Fever Coat.’ The cuties you can see in the picture in this article have been born with the unique so-called ‘fever coat’, which is a specific grey-ish overcoat over their natural stripes. Two of these kitties were completely covered in this fever coat, while the other four had it on their legs and hips. In the next couple of weeks, this overcoat disappeared, revealing three black kittens, 1 tabby, and 3 torties. This kind of overcoat has been previously documented as very rare. 

The phenomenon is named ‘fever coat’ in literature. It occurs when a momma cat has fever during pregnancy due to stress. In Georgie’s case, stress was a given considering the fact that she was a stray. The unique fever coat is not a health problem at all and will disappear in just a few weeks. Georgie and the litter are doing well and have all been rehomed since then. We wish them a happy and long life filled with joy.
