So male kitten, mom is lynx point and dad is flame point (that's all the information I know). Kitten to me looks like a solid (not tabby marking/striping on the face, which you usually see in lynx and flame points) blue point from the grainy picture that I saw on social media. Poster was asking if kitten was blue or lilac point. It was very clear to me that kitten wasn't lilac, but it got me wondering about how all this would work.
To be honest I am still having trouble understanding red. I know it is dominant and sex linked, only being passed on through the X chromosome. From what I read a Red colored cat can also carry TWO chocolate genes (which I must admit really messed me up). So does that mean that red is on a different locus from black/chocolate/cinnamon? And if it's on a different locus is it possible for cats to be both dominant for red and black? (I think this is where tortie comes in but I am not 100% sure)
If mom is lynx and dad is flame (I am assuming that both carry dilute?), and neither carry chocolate what would the color ratio of kittens be?
If they both carried chocolate, what color would the kittens be?
Also is it possible for two tabby/striped pointed cats to have a solid pointed offspring?
Sorry I hope I am not being confusing. I know lutece is pretty fantastic about answering things in easy to understand terms, so I am hoping you can help me out!
