I'm putting this question in this thread because there are more people who know about genetics.
As some of you know, one of my cats clearly has a strong Siberian influence. I always thought she had a different father because her sisters don't look a thing like her.
Question: If the mother has Siberian, is it possible that she had 2 short hair kittens and one long hair? If she was short hair and my kittens' father is the Siberian, then what are the chances that 2 different orange toms mated with her? The mother had 2 orange females and a tortie, so the males had to be orange.
I googled long hair genetics but didn't understand it very well. Could someone help me to understand how 2 kittens have short hair, pointed ears and a thin longer face and 1 kitten is clearly Siberian influenced (only question is how much). Other than two are orange and female, that's where the similarities end.
