I'm speaking as a totally unqualified person as far as cats go but this strikes me as similar to the 'blue' Yorkie. In those dogs, the areas with the gold hair are normal with the coat growing normally but the dark areas (saddle and haunches) have almost no hair and the skin has a noticeable blue color. The skin can have a rough texture. I've read that it can be painful for the dog and they tend to not live a full life. It's a genetic anomaly.
