You have the patience of a saint, MM...

Thanks for the tips guys :)

Very interesting... Thank you for explaining. So a tabby point can only be produced if there is at least one tabby parent?

So, for example, what would this combo produce? A black tabby (browny colour) with carrying pointed, two copies of the tabby gene And a red tabby carrying pointed

How are tabby points produced?

I am interested in showing cats - whether it be Geronimo, my Cornish Rex, or my next kitten. I have permission from his breeder to show him as a pet or neuter. He is 4 months old, and was to be exported to Australia as a show and stud cat, however they decided to wait before bringing one over...

Magnificent

He really is like a parrot, cat and dog all rolled into one... Talks back to you, perches on you, and goes for your jewellery (gently, he plucks it up and pulls on it with his teeth), like a parrot I taught him to fetch the other day, he chases and wags his tail, e comes when he is called, and...

Thanks for that - what an interesting breed :)

Could you give us a bit of info on the Ocicats? What do they originate from? And pictures are always welcome ;)

Wow... Incredibly cute. Love the chocolate silvers.

Just bumping this post :)

My boys side was solid black (possibly smoke?) and his mother was a black tortie with white. My boy is blue and white. Does that mean that both parents have 1 dilute gene?

1x blue bicolour Cornish Rex and 1x silver Shaded Persian here

Thanks for that! I'm fairly sure I get the general gist of the basics. Now... How do mink and Burmese come about? How do they look different?

Ok, so this is what I understand so far about the basics. Black with one dilute is blue, 2 dilute genes caramel? Chocolate one dilute is lilac, 2 dilute genes...? Cinnamon one dilute fawn (is this also called lavender?) 2 dilute genes...? As pointed is recessive, a cat must have 2 copies of...

Hi guys, Reading through a few colour threads, I've become a bit lost and confused, especially with how genes work - what colours you can expect out of particular colour combinations, etc. I had never heard of caramel, cinnamon, or fawn before joining here. I had never seen a ticked tabby...

In NZ, both cats would be called Tortoiseshells, the second tortie with white or black/blue/etc tortie bicolour. Not a breeder, just a pet owner. I do try to use 'correct' terms.

Okay you've got me intrigued... What is the name of the breeder? Got a website? I can't get one yet but I can plan... ;)

Maybe in a few years time!
