OK, I admit I am new to this universe – or tooniverse – but I haven’t seen any humans, so where did the concept of tanning come from???
We’ve already seen a few characters without fur. Maybe they invented it.
Umm, Millie clearly says she seems to be turning a slightly darker shade of orange. That’s obviously how tanning works here.
From what i see, The history, technologies and world are the same us ours, The only difference is they’re animals.
If Millie stays out in the sun too long will she turn burnt orange? 🙂
Hairless dogs and cats could have invented the concept, I suppose.
And Ozy too, after Millie get’s done with him. 🙂
If reptiles can lay out in sun why not a platypus? Said Llewellyn the red purple suit dragon….never
Maybe other animals just like to lie in the sun, and Millie misunderstood?
I like that Ozy’s daywear is a jacket but no pants, while his swimwear is pants but no top…
We have a ‘black’ cat who suns outside a lot. In the right light, everything but his head is actually a shade of brown. Our other black cat, who is much more an indoor cat, is fully black. I suspect Millie could achieve similar results to our outdoor cat, if she spent some of her time in the sun grooming as well.
Years ago I had the loan of a Siamese cat (friend had two cats that weren’t getting along with each other). When I gave the cat back my friend was astonished to see how much of the cat’s fur was dark! In Siamese, light vs dark fur reflects temperature, and I kept my flat significantly cooler than most others would (and still do).
Sorry, Millie, but prolonged exposure to direct sunlight will make your fur lighter, not darker. That’s certainly how it works with taxidermied animals, anyway. Since the visible part of the hair follicle is already dead, I suspect it would be the same for living animals. Of course, Millie won’t be sitting in the sun all day, every day, and her hair will be growing, so it’s probably not going to have a noticeable effect one way or the other.
