Cat changes color.

Has anyone else seen a cat change color .I first thought i was seeing things, let me explain . Last winter i had to move the trip was to take approx 8 - 9 hours drive so i packed the car loaded up my grey tabby girl who also is a great companion but has never been in a car. Well the weekend planned to move also had the worst winter storms of the year, 21 hours it took us, My poor girl did not handle it well at all ,she started off in her carrier but right from the get she very loudly howled ,yowled and didnt stop until i put her on my lap she mellowed out a bit then i noticed she looked different i pulled off the road to have a look and to my amazement she was red yeah my grey cat was red not bright red but a burnt kinda brick red and she was flat very very flat it freaked me out so i just stayed and held stroked consoled her for a while but she was definitely red I think she was so distressed that it caused her chemistry to change i dont know what do you folks think

No im not delusional, this did happen i take very good care of my cat who is way more then a pet to me , this is a mystery im hoping you all can help answer . Let me add that it wasn t a sickness nor was it any substance getting on her from my observation it seemed to be a reaction of some kind or destress upon arrival she returned to her normal self

@Timbobajimbo Maybe it isn't the cat; maybe it's your eyes. Take notice from now on to see if other things change color, even slightly and then perhaps check in with your PCP or eye doctor.
