These are her brothers. You can definitely see the difference in the colors.

Her undercoat is white all over. Her mom is grey with some white, but I don’t know who her dad is. The colony had 3 toms nearby that I know of, a grey tabby, orange tabby, and a tuxedo. I am much more familiar with canine genetics, and I use Embark for health and trait testing (the breed ID is...

That was actually in a very cloudy, overcast early morning lol. No sunlight

I understand genetics very well, I’m just not familiar with feline genetics. That being said, I do want to know and understand what her actual color is rather than guessing.

That looks like a smoke to me

Her brothers are completely black. Side by side it is a very striking contrast.

This is one of my feral colony kittens, turned barn kitten. She is now about 11 months old, and I really don’t think this is a fever coat. Both of her brothers are now straight black, but she’s far from it and gaining more color as she ages. I was guessing a smoke for awhile, but now I really...

Oh wow, thank you! I am located in SW Florida. Like I said, I won’t be ready for a couple of years. I do want to be well prepared when the time comes though.

Hello all. I am interested in learning more about Norwegian Forest Cats, showing, and what to look for in a reputable cat breeder. I show Great Pyrenees in the AKC conformation world, but I know nothing of showing cats. I am not looking to get a NFC for a couple of years. I have 2 super senior...

My 3 former feral colony kittens are now approximately 23 weeks old and growing like weeds. They are, however, complete failures at keeping the rats out of my horse barn 😂😂😂 All 3 are now getting their individual features. Nuts (boy) is shorter and stockier than his brother Bolts. Bolts is...

If it was fever coat, wouldn’t the others in the litter be the same? Or can that affect only one?

@Meowmee she is also very dusty lol. It is definitely white. TNVR stands for trap, neuter, vaccinate, return.

@cataholic07 yes, her fur is white underneath. They are from a feral colony. I know their mom is a grey, but I don’t know who their dad is.

Hello all. So my 3 little feral colony kittens were officially put through the TNVR program and are living in my barn full time. I’m still thinking the girl will be a black smoke, as she does have white through the under portion of her fur. She has also lightened up considerably while the boys...

They were following me around the pasture this morning. I think they are starting to see me as their person!
