Expectations

What We May Expect

Expected Colors:

This pairing may produce a beautiful range of black, blue, red, cream, and tortie kittens, with both solid and smoke possibilities. Male kittens may be black, blue, red, or cream, while females may also inherit tortie coloring. White spotting is possible across all colors, so any kitten from this pairing may be bicolor. As with every litter, genetics like to keep a few secrets, and individual colors and markings will be confirmed after birth.

This pairing may produce kittens in black, blue, red, cream, and tortie, with smoke possibilities throughout. Male and female kittens may inherit different color combinations due to the sex-linked nature of red, while white spotting may be inherited across any of the possible colors, meaning any kitten from this litter could be bicolor. Final colors and markings will be determined after birth.
