Hello all! I recently posted a thread last night about this but upon rereading it I noticed that it was just all over the place and wordy, probably making it difficult to understand my question at all! The short story is, a pregnant stray tabby adopted us and we had no idea who the father was, but she has given birth to one "calico" like kitten (orange gray and white), two gray/brown tabbies who look identical to her, and then the ones that are stumping me on how to describe them - 3 little black babies, who are jet black in certain lighting (and when they were born) and dark chocolate brown/black in brighter light. They have faint stripes around their neck area, and white striping on the face, but they are otherwise black with a deep brown undercoat. I was wondering how exactly to describe or classify them. I have heard of ghost stripes and I'm wondering if they will grow up and be solid black and lose the faint stripes, or if maybe they were just born very dark and will lighten up to become more gray/brown and tabby-like just like their sisters/brothers. Here are some pictures, what do you think?
