What coloring would come from a ruddy Abyssinian mother and a black and white tuxedo father?

If the mother carries solid, the kits will each have a 50/50 chance of being solid black vs. ruddy Abyssinian (aka brown ticked tabby). If the mother doesn’t carry solid, every kit will be a ruddy Abyssinian (brown ticked tabby). 

Each kit will have a 50/50 chance of inheriting their father’s white spotting (not necessarily the same amount or location, though -- anything less than 60% white works) vs. their mother’s (presumed) no white spotting.

If the parents both carry a non-black color like chocolate or cinnamon, you could get something interesting, but that’s rather unlikely on the whole, so this is probably about what you’d expect.

If a shorthaired (Ll) silver ticked tabby tom (who carries spotted tabby) with 50% white mated with a longhaired (ll) ruddy ticked tabby molly with 20% white, what type of kits could they produce? Both cats carry dilute.

They can produce both shorthaired and longhaired kits (each kit has a 50/50 chance, really). Each kit has a 50% chance of being a silver ticked tabby like their father and a 50% chance of being a ruddy ticked tabby like their mother. Each kit will have about a 25% chance of being dilute, which would make them a blue ticked tabby instead of ruddy or a blue silver ticked tabby instead of silver. About half the kits will have some degree of white spotting but less than 50%, and depending on the tom’s genetics, either the remaining half will all have 50% or more white spotting, or 25% of the kits will and 25% will have none at all.

Hey! What would the kits of a black and white tom with about 50% white coverage who carries the dilute gene, and a red ticked tabby she-cat? The she-cat is also described as a ruddy Abyssinian cat if that has any clarity.

Ruddy Abyssinian is actually a form of brown tabby!

So all their kits would be brown ticked tabbies, all with less than 50% white on them.

Hi! I was wondering what sort of kits a female ruddy somali with a solid blue gray tom with mackerel tabby genes would have?

brown ticked tabbies. Probably not on the ruddy side.

what would the kittens of a sorrel Abyssinian point she-cat carrying dilute and a blue mackerel tabby tom carrying point and solid look like?

brown Abyssinian tabbies (with stripes on legs/face/tail probably), blue Abyssinian tabbies (with stripes on legs/face/tail probably), brown Abyssinian tabby points, and blue Abyssinian tabby points

(note: abyssinian tabby=ticked)

What would be likely pelts of the offspring of a ruddy Abyssinian female and a Black Smoke male? This is one strange combination, and I can't figure out for the life of me how the kits would turn out. Oh, and this blog is amazing <3

Aaha thank you <3333

It sounds like they’ll have brown ticked tabby kits with smoke. Ruddy is a specific shade of brown ticked tabby, and may be possible, just not probably since its a breed-specific shade.

Since they’re short-haired, the smoke will only be obvious when their fur is parted.
