Cool! I will look into it
Also, are those your kitties in your profile picture?
I used to have a MCO that looked exactly like them, his name was Fred <3
I think it's awesome you know all of this, so I was just curious, is there any specific website/place you learned all of this? Or did you kind of just pick it up?
I'm kind of interested in learning a bit more about it too
I'm not sure if this changes/confirms anything, but I looked at his individual hairs and noticed bands, does this signify he has agouti?
Also I just noticed that you said he might be ticked with an underlying pattern, being classic or mackerel. Does that still apply now or is he just mackerel?
Could momma be a longhair black tortie carrying dilute (And would carrying dilute affect the black or would it just be existing without any affect on the color?)
If so, what could the father be? I know he must be tabby if mom isnt
im sorry for so many questions im kinda just interested in this...
