    I have had my blue tuxedo for a week now. When I got him his coloring was black, now it's a nice dark blue. Does their color change with their mood?

    From what I understand Blue is the normal happy color for those. Sweet looking urchins no matter what color they are though =)

    Coulda been the lighting he was under before that made him look black? At any rate, cool looking urchin.
