Rett's Hypothesis on Glistening Cats

We are loving our blessed new, unique Glistening Cats,  that totally   amaze US!!  How wonderful to have CATS that "Glisten"!!                                        Has anyone seen, or does anyone HAVE, a cat with lighter points?  (In rabbits I have had "reverse himalayans"... where the rabbit is colored with lighter point color ~~ I'm not talking about booted or white spotted in rabbits).  I'm not talking about white spotting or masking genes (the alleles found on the KIT gene) in cats, but a fading of fur/hair color from primary color to faded silvery color on ears/paws, face, etc. ????  I have a blue kitten here that has this.  He is blue... his points fad to silvery blue... noticeably lighter in color shade. (It's more difficult to notice in a photo... but easily seen in real life.)  Would this be considered "Karparti" or a new color shade?  

 We have a  "black" kitten now five months old, has white hairs throughout much of his coat, and wavy /kinky hair also.  I'm wondering if it's a roaning gene??  (He is a full brother to the blue... both have glistening coats also.  They have a sister who is a blue cream with a glistening coat).

Rett's Hypothesis on Glistening Cats and possibly Satin cats, along with other "glistening" coated animals like the Aklar Teke horse breed and some very glistening coated Arabian horses I've seen and owned through the years.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I've NEVER anywhere, other than here...

 NOW, 

read or heard ANYONE ~~~~

 other than myself,

 hypothesis this:

Perhaps this Glistening haired kittens and possibly "satin" cats, along with Aklar Teke horses, iridescent mole rats, 

ARE MUTATIONS TO EXTREME HEAT???  

Everyday scientist are claiming there is climate warming?  Are our animal's coats/fur/hair mutating to compensate for this? 

~~~~~ OR IS IT ~~~~~~

THAT THESE ANIMALS 

ARE BORN INTO NORMALLY HOT REGIONS OF THE WORLD... SUCH AS DESERTS, THE SOUTHERN STATES, ETC??

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

THIS WOULD ACCOUNT FOR MUTATIONS IN FUR/HAIR/COATS THAT REFLECT THE SUNLIGHT AND HEAT, TO HELP THE ANIMALS COMENSATE FOR THE SUCH WARM AREAS / CLIMATES OF THE WORLD / STATES WHERE THEY ARE BORN... 

Hollow hair shafts?

 Iridescent hair/fur? 

 Light reflecting qualities?

Think about it... it's NATURE making perfect sense!!

What better way to reflect heat than GLISTENING??
