I just got my girlfriend a new kitten for Christmas. The mother was completely black "long hair", the father seemed to have long hair as well, just not as long as the mothers and was orange like Garfield The kittens ranged from, all grey, all black, calico and then my girlfriends new kitten "Henry", he looks like a Himalayan/Siamese rag-doll. How is this possible? I should add that my girlfriend has owned a Himalayan/Siamese rag-doll before and said that "Henry" looks exactly like one.
I'm just curious how this is possible if the parents look nothing like a Himalayan/Siamese rag-doll. Thank you to anyone that can help explain this to me... The only thing I can think of is that it must just be a recessive gene...
I'm adding two photos, the first one at approximately 4 weeks and the other at about 9 weeks.
