Hi there...black cats are considered melanistic rather than albino.
Albinoism is an absence of colour and are white with red eyes.

Albinos have no pigment in their skin, hair or eyes. Their skin appears pink because the red color of blood shows up through the skin as pink. The same thing causes their eyes to look red. Their hair is not white, but clear, and only appears white. So you could not have a black cat that is albino.

Its not Black if it is an albino. Albinoism is an absence of color. A BB, BB parent set of Black cats with the Black fur traits can have an Albino due to an error in Meiosis.

An albino is always white. The albino mutation cancels out any genetic information that would dictate what color the cat may have been. So no. It's not possible.

No. If your cat is black and has red/foggy eyes & you think it's albino, you're very wrong. It's a very serious eye problem, possibly Ulcers which is now so far infected the only thing to do is probably removing.

Never heard of it. Albinos have pink eyes and white skin. Even human black albinos still have the pink eyes and sort of white skin and yellowish hair. They are very sensitive to light/sun.

Albinos have no pigmentation. Any race of person can be albino. Any animal can as well. Albinos are not white or any color. They have no pigment at all.

A tortie outcomes from an orange tabby and a black cat having kittens. this suggests her grandmother has the genes from a black verify. no longer uncommon in any respect. Genes appear in later generations each and all of the time.

No-- albinos have no pigments in their bodies, while black cats, obviously, have black pigments.

no, of course not. Albinos are white becuase they do not possess color pigments.
