hi i have a cat genetics problem that i can’t seem to solve (i am a total beginner at this stuff and have only recently watched ur cat coat genetics videos).
basically, how is it possible for a dilute (gray) siamese cat (male) with color points on his paws, tail, mask, and ears to create a completely or near-completely white offspring with a long-haired yellow/goldish tabby (female)? the tabby has white on her as well, but i’m stumped. i have no idea how to make this work genetically. i assume that in most cases the kittens would be, like, blue? or fawn if the mom is fawn? any assistance would be greatly appreciated and would likely help foster my understanding. i don’t know how siamese genetics interact with tabbies. parentage of the parents does not matter to me.
on a sidenote, ur youtube is awesome!!! easiest sub of my life
Thanks so much!
I answered this question when you left it in my YouTube comments since I saw that first, but I'll copy-paste the answer here so that others can see it, in case it helps them too:
I'd personally just give mom some white, yep! Belly, locket, paws, whatever. If she's S/W, and dad's S/S, baby can be S/S. S/S cats do rarely appear as all-white (they'll probably be born with tiny van spots & grow out of them).
And since this is Tumblr, I can show you what "van spots" are:
Thanks for asking :3
tysm :)
