# Is my African violet diseased? It looks like the new leaves growing…

Is my African violet diseased? It looks like the new leaves growing in have discoloration too. But it’s blooming and seems happy otherwise.  
I’ve had it for a few years and haven’t seen it do this before. It’s in a self watering pot, repotted probably 6 months ago. My cats sit on the window sill next to it which is why it’s covered in hair 😂  
(Last picture is a few months ago)

Looks like you’ve left water on the leaves. Light contacting that is burning the leaves, causing that discoloration. At least, that’s definitely what it looks like to me.
