I'm Writing a book about cats and I need help with kittens, the mother is a lilac point siamese, and the father is a smoke Maine coon with amber eyes, I just want to know what the kittens would look like of both sexes
Okay, so this gets a bit complicated.Â
Before you add smoke/silver and/or pointed patterns, unless the father carries chocolate or cinnamon (which, as a Maine Coon, he’d be unlikely to do), every kit will have black as its base color. If for some reason he does carry chocolate or cinnamon, each kit has a 50/50 chance of being chocolate. If he carries dilute, each kit will have a 50/50 chance of being dilute (blue/grey instead of black, lilac instead of chocolate).
If the father doesn’t carry any colorpoint genes (which, as a Maine Coon, he’d be unlikely to do), none of the kits will have any pointed patterns. If he does carry Siamese/point (or one of the albino genes), each kit will have a 50/50 chance of being Siamese/point. If he carries Burmese/sepia instead, each kit will have a 50/50 chance of being Tonkinese/mink rather than Siamese/point.
Smoke is dominant, so it depends if the father is homozygous or heterozygous. If he’s homozygous, every kit will be smoke. If he’s heterozygous, each kit will have a 50/50 chance of being smoke.
Tl;dr: most likely, the kits will either all be smoke like their father, or they’ll be half smoke and half solid black. Blue smoke and solid blue are also reasonably likely.
