Re: Do colours run in families?


Here is a good article about cat colours, and what colours are dilutes of what etc.

And here is the article about the two different kinds of male torties - it is quite far down though. Am sure the other way is somthing that is seen in humans (although never figured out how)

Very interesting articles. I find colour genetics very intriguing if not a little complicated It's so easy in Labrador Retrievers but cat colour genetics is very complicated
