not so black..black n white cats!

MM ive had salem and Zuzu for almost a month now..they were born on aug 30th this year..
theyre a weird colour kinda smokey with black tabby markings and bits of white..
now i KNOW black cats all have "ghost tabby markings.." especially in the sun but im confused..
theyre changing colour and im presuming they go totally black instead of the weird charcol and black with white tips..

but the tabby markings are really pronounced..is it possible they may not go completely balck? Any black cat owners who had their cats from kittenhood..did their coat change colour and if so how long did it take?

thanks

Well we've had our black cat since he was about 2 months old, and he didn't change colors at all... The only difference in his coat now is that he's got more white hairs here and there.
