The same genetic mutation that causes black cats to produce excess melanin may also make them more resistant to disease, especially feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV).

The genes that produce black fur are similar to the genes that help the human body resist HIV.

Black cats may have certain genetic mutations that make them less susceptible to some diseases.

Researchers have mapped, cloned, and sequenced genes associated with melanism, or having a black coat. They identified changes in a gene called agouti that controls blackness in the hair of domestic cats.
