I'm curious what color traits create the flamepoint color pattern on a cat. I have a pregnant flame point siamese looking girl and am trying to guess what her babies could look like without having any idea what the dad looked like.
Thank you!! Apparently the dad cat sired two other litters the rescue took in at the same time as my girl (she's a foster - got her yesterday) and they were absolutely gorgeous babies. Colored + white and I think a couple tabbies with white. The mom's were super pretty too. Not flame point though. Very colorful with a lot of white. I wish I thought to take pictures of them but this is all I have.If the dad is pointed (by some magic coincidence), all the kittens will be pointed. If he is not pointed but carries the point gene, about half will be pointed. If he doesn't carry the point gene, none will be pointed (but about half will carry it, if they were to reproduce in the future).
All the males will be red/red pointed like the mom. The girls will be red or tortie/pointed, depending what color the dad gave them.
Yes it is. The two adult cats in the picture are the other two moms and the babies are all of theirs with the sire (supposedly) the same as the one who's babies my foster girl is carrying. I've attached a picture of my girl here as well.I do see a true spotted tabby cat in the fray, its the momma?
Thanks for sharing the info you do have! I have always found it intriguing the difference between the moms and the babies and been reading some about cat coat coloring. I am thoroughly confused about 25% of the time still but am absolutely fascinated by it! And this girl is a totally new "schema" for me!I dont get any sure clue about the daddy, even if he could be the other tabby pattern non spotted.
I am very curious, I have a 4 month old male flame point kitten and a 3 in a half old orange tabby female and I was curious since the boy carries point traits if I would end up with tiny flame point or any other pointed kittens if I breed them together?If the dad is pointed (by some magic coincidence), all the kittens will be pointed. If he is not pointed but carries the point gene, about half will be pointed. If he doesn't carry the point gene, none will be pointed (but about half will carry it, if they were to reproduce in the future).

how do you know if the mom carries a point trait? can you test it? I've had a litter before from my tiny tortico cat which is where I got the flame point from.
