A baby cougar's spots fade over time.
Picture from KVAL
Cougar kittens are born with black rings on their tails and spotted coats. These spots fade to dapples around nine months of age. By the time
the kittens are twenty-four to thirty months old all signs of these
dapples will disappear, which is roughly around the time the cubs reach
sexual maturity.
