4. chocolate (ie. dark brown with pinkish paw pads)

Just wondering why these colours / patterns are so under-represented in the moggy population and working on a theory.

Hi Liz, just to answer your question. My moggy had 4 kittens a few weeks ago and one of them has turned out silver like the whiskas cat.

Your thesis sounds very interesting, I'll have to re-read it when I've got my concentration cap on
