That would be great, at what age do they change

I no you don't get blue's all that often, I dont no how the colour of cats work, how you manage to get a beautiful aray of colours in one litter,
I soooooo wish I could keep them all

[Fran]

This is Clooney as a a youngster, see the tabby markings on him?

This is Clooney now (well taken last summer)...

all the 'ghost markings' have gone except for some very faint ones on his tail

Blue's are less commonly born because both parents have to carry the dilution gene for blue kittens to be produced. In my experience blue torties are even rarer You managed to get such a beautiful aray of colours because mum is red (which in it's self is quite unusual) but that's how you have got tortie's in your litter

These babies all had ghost markings and have all turned out to be solid blue

Ooooo, so I've been 'Lucky' then, so to speak

Thanx for that, it will be very interesting to see what colour they turn out to be like

are those beautiful cats yours?
are they a pedigree?
just out of curiosity I seem to have a 'peach' tabby in the litter, is this because of a dilution to

Yes they are mine, Clooney and Maud the parents and the 3 'Clooney Clones' and no they are not pedigree

Yes the the 'peachy' colour will be down to the dilution gene, you are getting the hang of the genetics now

[Fran]

Out of interest, do you know the colour of dad?
