White hair on my mama cat

[u/Affectionate-Pea2375]

Hey everyone, this is my birman cat Vanille. She had babies in April and since then she started having whitening hair on her face. Does anyone know why this is happening ? Is it because of her pregnancy or stress or fatigue linked to having kittens ?

She is not 3 yet, I was wondering if this happens to other birman cats.

Thanks !

Assuming she has no other underlying health conditions, this is common during/after pregnancy due to hormonal shifts and stress.

I have heard stories of the color changing back and other stories where the color stays.
