Do older cats change color ?

I know it sounds odd, but as I was combing my senior cat today, the bright sunlight made his fur (tuxedo black and white) show an undercoat of a tabby (stripes). I have never noticed this before and it is quite noticable. Did I just miss it, or is he changing color as he ages ?

    It's always been there. We had a rehab black panther for a while and in the sunlight you could see spots like a leopard and that animal wasn't full grown when fish and wildlife brought him. I've had other black cats that you could see tabby in the sun.

    sometimes the animals hair will change as it ages, but normally it just gets a lighter shade of what it was before
