Well...... cream is a combination of the red gene (called Orange) plus blue. It is blue-based. Breeding her to your blue can only ever produce other blue based colours, (never black, choc, red etc.)

It will produce Tortie as that is part & parcel of the Orange gene, but they will be dilute (blue-based) torties only.

If both parents carry colourpoint you might also get cream/blue/tort CPs.

Offhand, there's not anything else I can think of that could be carried, so it's a pretty safe bet on what you'll get.
