Hey, so sorry to bother but im absolutely lost on this. Do you know what the kits of a classic silver tabby tom with blue eyes and a chocolate birman molly with yellow eyes look like? the tom has white spotting ;w;
Since you say the molly is birman, I’m going to assume she’s longhaired and colorpoint. If that’s wrong, feel free to send another ask with clarifying information!
Also, while we don’t usually give eye color information (since eye color is polygenetic), point cats’ eyes are always blue because point coloration is caused by albinism. Now, if your molly is a sepia/Burmese colorpoint, she could have green or gold eyes (according to the information I’ve found, at least), but the typical Birman is point/Siamese colorpoint, so unless you want to change that, her eyes will probably not be yellow. Additionally, a silver tabby tom typically cannot have blue eyes unless he has some white spotting.
Now, onto the potential kits:
If the tom carries longhair, each kit has a 50% chance of being longhair vs. shorthair. Otherwise, every kit will be shorthair.
If the tom carries chocolate, each kit will have a 50% chance of having chocolate vs. black as their baseline color. Otherwise, every kit will have black as their baseline color. If both parents carry dilute, each kit will also have a 25% chance of being dilute (chocolate > lilac, black > blue/grey). Otherwise, every kit will be non-dilute.
If the tom carries solid, each kit will have a 50% chance of being solid vs. tabby. Otherwise, every kit will be tabby. Depending on what tabby genes the molly carries (which aren’t being expressed because she’s solid), the tabby kits can be either all mackerel, all classic, or 50/50. Choose whichever you like on that front!
If the tom carries the non-silver gene, each kit will have a 50% chance of being silver (or smoke if solid) vs. not. Otherwise, every kit will be silver (or smoke if solid).
If the tom carries a copy of one of the colorpoint genes (which, for the record, is unlikely unless he has some kittypet ancestry from breeds that are colorpoint, but you know, that’s possible), each kit will have a 50% chance of being colorpoint (otherwise, none of the kits will be colorpoint). If the allele the tom carries is the Burmese/sepia gene, the colorpoint kits will be Tonkinese/mink; if the allele the tom carries is the Siamese/point gene, the colorpoint kits will be Siamese/point.
Note that silver/smoke and colorpoint are not mutually exclusive! With the right combination of genes, this couple could produce a seal pastel lynx point like this.
