SpiritualCrystalz in all honestly, ever since I could remember, I've always been a stickler for natural colours. I would get upset at kids in my classroom who would colour a rabbit purple or a horse blue. I didn't grow up with a lot of cartoon characters being abnormal colors like Sonic or tiny Toons and the ones that were abnormal were fictional characters like dragons. All the movies and tv shows I did watch had characters with more natural colours (Bambi, Oliver and company, Robin Hood, American tail, Looney Tunes, etc) Even in coloring books, I would color animals and people natural colours. Of course there's nothing wrong with making Characters with unnatural colors and patterns, just for me, I feel out of my element. Its just not who I am.

Red is a bit of a weird one. That's why I got a bit confused for a few years. Females having two X chromosomes gives them the ability to have 2 red alleles, hence their ability to be tortoiseshell with 1 red allele and 1 black allele. But since males only have 1 x chromosome, it only gives them 1 red allele. So without mutations, they can only be red or black. Black (and all its variants) seems to the the "default" color for all cats, hence why black doesn't follow the rules red goes by. I understand the complexity of red is complex. There's a reason why it took me a while to figure things out even after my series premiered. I'm also not the best at explaining. Don't be upset about not understanding it. It's complex.

Hello, I have a question. Suppose there is a cream female cat and a red male cat. So the cream female cat would be OOddBBDD or OOddBbDD or OOddBBDd right? Suppose she is OOddBBDD, if she mates with OBBDD male cat, then in the Punett square there would be OdBD (for the female) and OBD (for the male), so does that mean their offspring would have only 1 d for the red dillution colour? Will the offspring have the red dillution with only 1 d? Or perhaps the male cat should be written as ODDBBDD?
@bluecollarden

The cream female should be written as OOBBdd/OOBbdd while the male would be -OBBDD/-OBbDd. It depends on if the male is a carrier for the dilution gene. If he is not a carrier, then all of the kittens would be red but all carry dilution. If the male is a carrier, then there's a 50% chance for each kitten to be cream.

I've taken another example from part 1 and tried to fix and work out myself. I'd love to know if I'm correct, or where I went wrong, as I learn a lot from feedback. The example was a solid blue tom with the corrected genotype oBBdd from the original ooBBdd, and a black+orange tortie queen with the genotype OoBBDD. In a punnet square, I put oBd for the tom on the left, and OBD, oBD and -BD on the top. My results were OoBBDd, ooBBDd and -oBBDd respectively. My conclusion was that male kittens will be 100% black dilution carriers, and that females would be 50% tortie dilution carriers, and 50% black dilution carriers. Is this correct?

According to dominance, there should be more red females than black generally. But if you have seem more black females than red females, this must be due to there being more black males mating with females, and if there is a tortie mother and black father, any female born will be tortie or black.

Like I said before, red is more dominant, so there would be more red males than black males generally, but with females there are more torties than red or black. So perhaps there are slightly more black males than females because of the female dominated tortie section (and there are so many torties). But yeah, populations vary. On my farm, we went through a phase of only black cats, with about equal amount of males and females. Then we went through a phase of only red cats (with one neutered white cat and one female black and white cat), surprisingly more females than males generally. Then black cats got introduced again and there were no red kittens born, only black and tortie. Then a tortie was brought to the farm and there were varieties of cream, red, black and blue kittens, all the red/cream cats were male since the father was black and those kittens got the red from their mother, with approximately equal gender ration with the black/blue kittens.

Is Red really dominant to all colours? Red would cancel the black gene in cats making tortoiseshells impossible. But since they occur commonly, it implies that Red is codominant with Black and they "share" the coat. Since one X chromosome is inactive in every cell (randomly), some spots feature red fur and some other spots feature black/chocolate/cinnamon fur, resulting in a tortie.
@bluecollarden

Red is dominant, but it interacts differently with the two sexes. Since colour are in the x genes and females have XX, if a female has one red x and one black x, she'll be tortoiseshell. But in males is more prominent, as they only have one x in their XY gene. That's why male tortoiseshells don't happen unless there's a mutation. That is the reason why there are typically more red males than red females, because the females tend to inherit both red and black genes. Yes, females can be red, but that requires either two red parents or a red father and a tortoiseshell mother. Males who have a tortoiseshell mother tend to be red over black because red is dominant over black.

@@bluecollarden That's what I mean by "codominant", a heterozygous female will display both colours, not just red. I've never heard about male kittens with tortie mothers being more oftenly orange. A tortoiseshell will pass a random X chromosome, so there's a 50/50 incidence of black and red in her male kittens. There are also more black males than females. The difference in number is not as high as in orange cats, but this is not due to red being dominant over black, but due to the presence of chocolate and cinnamon genes. So unlike red, a female can still be black with one copy of the gene if the other is a recessive brown.

In my experience as a farm girl with lots of barn cats, we've had either an equal amount of black male and females or more females than males. black works similarly to our hair color. You can have the gene for blond, but you'll still be brunette, like a black with chocolate or dilution. The black gene doesn't care what sex the cat is, if there are more males, that's just by chance. Red is more complicated because it relies on sex more than any other color. It is probably codominance in the case of tortoiseshell, but my research never called it that (unless I'm completely forgetting what I said in this series because it's been a long time).

Genetics are very confusing and I'm still learning things to this day. Firstly, it depends on what kind of what your cat has. I'm guessing it has either 2 of the 3 potential genes for white: Dominant White or White Spotting. If it's a dominant white, then there's a good chance at least half of the kittens would be white as well. Those cats would have either blue, orange or odd eyes. But if it's white spotting, there's a very high chance that most or all of the kittens would be white spotting, but no all white cat. It would also most likely take on the eye colour of the Bengal. However, the other thing to consider is that white is a masking colour. Unless you know the white cats' history and full genealogy, there's no telling what that white is hiding underneath: tabby, solid, colourpoint, silver, tortie, red, black, dilute, chocolate, cinnamon? It can affect what the kittens could look like and there's no predicting that unless you find out. Bengals I know have a lot of dominant traits, since they are part wild, right? Their wild, dominant genes would influence a lot if mixed with a "regular" cat. Now, it doesn't mean all the kittens would look like the Bengal. Perhaps it could have some red? Dilution? Silver? Who knows. It's kind of hard to predict.

@@EMACULAT There isn't much on spots and genetics, so unfortunately I can't help you with that. But depending on the colour of the odd eyes can bring you a step closer into know if your cat is Dominant white or white spotting. Dominant whites can have only blue, orange or odd while white spotting can have copper, orange, yellow and green (rarely blue) and they can be odd of any kind. Yellow is more a dominant colour, most likely would affect kittens unless they're dominant white.
