If the mom is a silver mackerel tabby and the dad is a ginger classic tabby (would be solid if he weren't ginger), what would the kittens look like? Also is it possible for the mother to have blue eyes despite not having any white fur? Like maybe Ss white spotting but it doesn't show or something? Idk I'm just guessing but can something like that happen? Tyvm for your help ~

I think this is technically possible under the conditions you describe but I would advise against it because it’s really not probable. It’s far better to just give her a tiny bit of white, even just a locket. It’s already pretty uncommon for a cat to have blue eyes when they don’t have a pretty high amount of white spotting (e.g., at least enough to have white around the eyes), much less when they aren’t visibly white at all.

As for the kittens:

Male kits will be black-based, female kits will be tortie-based.

If the mom carries solid, each kit has a 50/50 chance of being solid vs. tabby. Otherwise, every kit will be tabby. If the mom carries classic, each tabby kit will have a 50/50 chance of being classic vs. mackerel. Otherwise, every tabby kit will be mackerel.

If the mom carries the non-silver gene, each kit has a 50/50 chance of being non-silver vs. silver or smoke. If the mom doesn’t, every kit will be silver or smoke -- silver if tabby and smoke if solid.

What color kittens could a silver mackerel tabby molly and a grey spotted tabby tom have? Thanks for helping out!

If the molly carries dilute, each kit will have a 50/50 chance of being grey vs. black. Otherwise, they’ll all be black. Note that this is just their base color - other colors and patterns will affect how these actually turn out.

If both parents carry solid, each kit will have a 25% chance of being solid. Otherwise, every kit will be some form of tabby. If the tom carries the non-spotted gene, each tabby kit will have a 50/50 chance of being mackerel tabby vs. spotted tabby. If he doesn’t, every tabby kit will be a spotted tabby.

If the molly only has one copy of the silver gene (she can have one or two), each kit will have a 50/50 chance of being silver themselves (or smoke if they’re solid). If the molly has two copies of the silver gene, every kit will be silver (or smoke if they’re solid). If a silver kit’s base color is grey, the kit will be blue silver/smoke instead of just silver/smoke.

No problem! Hope this helped!

What sort of kittens would a brown mackerel tabby male with green eyes produce with a silver tabby female with hazel eyes?

Silver mackerel tabbies!

Silver mackerel tabbies. Half will have more than 50% white on them, the other half less than 50%
