Do colours run in families?Based on DM's search for a ginger kit it made me think, based on Smudgleys ginger boy (in the rescue) and a friend who just got a ginger kitten - are most gingers born into tortie litters, from tortie moms? If you have a ginger what other colours were in the litter and what colour was the mom?

if your looking for a ginger tom its best to find a ginger mom as boys get there colour off there mum and girls get it off both of them so a ginger tom will come from either a ginger or a tortie mum and why girls can be tortie and boys cant so in my litter i am due in a little less than 3 weeks i know that all the boys will be some sort of red hope this helps |

Yes...i think gingers often are in a litter with torties, Clementines brothers were shaded gingers. I know of a fair few gingers that have had tortie sisters actually. As for why torties can only be female, something too do with the chromosomes (sp) that give the red and black colour not being compatible so to speak with the male gene (i read that somewhere, so not sure if its true) |
