What sort of kits could a longhaired, red mackerel tabby tom with no white spotting, but blue eyes from the ojos azule gene have if his mate was a longhaired, golden ticked tabby molly with no white spotting? The molly does not have any blood with the ojos azule gene, though she does carry spotted tabby, and mackerel tabby.
Wow, ojos azules sure has gotten popular lately!
Firstly, all the kits would be longhaired. Because the mother’s a ticked tabby, either every single kit will also be a ticked tabby, or half will be. If only half are ticked, the remaining half will probably be all mackerel and will either be all spotted or half spotted.Â
Color-wise, I’m going to assume when you say golden you mean the silver variant called golden rather than cream*. Basically, all the male kits will be (genetically black) brown tabbies and all the female kits will be torties. Half will be golden, and half will not be.Â
*(If you do mean cream, either every single kit will be red or half will be red and half will be cream.)
As far as ojos azules goes, about half the kits will have their father’s blue eyes and about half will not.Â
