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.
cream isn't blue based - cream is dilute red - so it is red based - so unless the girl is put to either another cream or a red all girls will be tortie.

it can only carry chocolate - if it has blue it is blue/cream (or blue tortie) not a cream
