If the Queen and Tom are the same color. Will the kittens only be that color, or can they be different colors. Thanks!!!!!

It depends on what each has in it's background. My guess is you will end up with a few different colors.

My cat just had kittens a few days ago. She is gray, Not sure who the father is.........her kittens were yellow, cream, gray and calico. I guess she was with many men during her wild days.

All I know about this is that tabby markings are very dominant. I had read up on this before Muffy had her kittens, and everything I read was right. I know her "boyfriend" was a black tom, and Muffy is a grey and black tabby. Of five kittens, 4 are tabbies and 1 is black.

Here's a link to a chart about cat color genetics. Maybe that will help you.
