    I am wondering about something. Is it possible to have a solid gray cat, gray tabby and a white cat all in the same litter? What colors would the parents have to be.


    If it is possible to have a white cat, what would be the possible coat colors of the kits if I took one of the white cats out of the above litter and crossed it with another white cat?

    Uh, well it all depends. ^^;


    By "white cat" do you mean it still has like a splot of color?

    No, I don't beleive it's possible. Maybe sometime in the future, genetics will get twisted once more and BOOM! Then It might happen. :)


    And I don't think I understand your second question. ^^;

    Well the 2nd question is relevant to the first. It depended on whether or not the first question was true. But seeing as it isn't, I guess the kits wouldn't be related by blood. But that part is kind of irrelevant. I believe the mother is a white and blue tabby while the father is just white. What would be the possible genetics?


    And this goes back to my main question: will the kits of two white cats all be white if their parents carry the gene for a different pelt color other than white?

    Uh, honestly I haven't learned the "x White" genetics yet.


    I do know that a solid white cat, unless Albino from some gene mess up, can not be in the same litter as a solid blue tabby and blue cat.

    Uh . .


    white cat x another cat


    mostly white other colored cat x mostly white other colored cat


    white x white


    as for albino, I don't know if a white kit would come out of that litter. -_-'


    I think you get it. ^^;

    Ok. This reminds me of the genetics unit I studies in biology. It was my favorite unit in the subject. I had forgotten how to do those punnet squares for complex things regarding fur. Is that what you guys use to predict pelt colors?

    xD No. More like "we asume brown tabby because the female is black. Brown tabby is black in tabby form. We asume all cats on WCARPG carry the tabby gene. etc."

    No. ^^ Even if both parents were white. Most likely some silvers in the litter. Not sure. Don't go off that. xD
