I'm sorry - this seems to be my thread for putting my foot in it. : / |

not at all, i'm just having trouble getting to grips with it. Is there a cat genetics for dumies class? lol |

ok, i get the second part of that now Kay, but for somer eason am still struggling with the first part, unless I'm trying to make it more difficult than it really is f course. Found the colour chart on the cat club page usefull, but confusing (to me) lol EDITED: right, i think i am getting there. If i had a seal point mum and a choc point dad would i therefore get seal point males and choc seal point females? ( am so sorry to keep asking so many questions) |

If there is, sign me up for it!  Mind, I'd be booted after five minutes for keeping up a constant stream of "But *why*..." (In the colour-chart example "How can two cream parents have red male kittens??? Two blue can't have a seal...surely the same thing???" )Maybe best I stick to books. And non-colourpoint. |

CJ, here's Wikipedia's take on what a tortie is. Hope that helps  Lots of people have torties here - the picture of Jaffa in the pictures forum shows a beautiful one, Smudge is one, and I can't remember the name of Mags' but I think she has one too (in her avatar!). |

aaahh yes that did indeed help!!! although i would never have guessed that blue cat was a blue tortie. But now i get that bit of it. so, another annoying question, is a tortie and a tabby the same??? |

They're not but I haven't a clue what the difference is. I base this on the fact that you can have tabby-patterned torties (called torbies in the US). Think tabbies have the 'M' on their forehead and a solid-coloured tail-tip as well. Also not much help. |

Kay if a female cat has blue eyes and a male has green would the boy kittens have blue eyes and the girl kittens be either blue or green? |
