Sounds like that fits into the "Calico" mold. Not speaking about the extreme white of Fluffy but the "ontogenic" mode of change.....
Ontogenic in this case refering to...
Normal color as a baby...
Reach sexual maturity
Go through a rapid color change.
I actually have several that fit that scenario...
Of course Fluffy, not in my possesion when he went throught he first of his color changes but was told a similar story, normal as a baby and color changed at sexual maturity....
Then a year ago he went through a second color change and now is....
That's my only example of one showing a lot of white.
Then I have a couple of other ones that went through color changes without the extreme white....
Zoe, got her as a baby from a local girl, born on 05/26/2007.
In July of 2008...
and in July of 2009....
As you can see, similar to yours where she now looks Anery-ish, darker animal with white crescents.
I also have Lucy, produced by me on 08/21/2005.
December of 2008....
March of 2009....
Was not sure if it was darkening while gravid but she has not returned to prior colors. Also looking anery-ish with darker colors and white crescents. Also she shows the "change" does not always happen right at sexual maturity, this was her second successful breeding season.
