not quite sure what cats you have - is this right?

1) a black and white long haired girl - whos mum was a tabby (what colour tabby?) - any ideas on the father?

2) a black boy - whos mother was a tabby point (whitey cream body -coloured limbs, face and tail? - again what colour tabby) - any idea on the father here? What colour were the grandfather and the grandmother?

Remember tabby is a pattern not a colour.

Are these the two cats that you are mating together? Are they both solids, i.e. no tabby markings?

Let me have these detailsand i'll try to help - but I seem to recall that white is incredibly dominant as is black so probably only going to get black and white from this pairing. I'll go check.


ok here goes

mum is black and white longhaired her mother was tabby with black honey and beige tones her dad was very simular to her black and white

dad pure black mum siamese pale with the more sandy earthytones if that makes sense i dont know about his dad tho the woman who i got him off didnt know who it was

i think i kinda know all the kittys will be black or black and white i long for different coloured one tho lol
