What color tabby was your cat's mother? I'm assuming she was either a brown tabby or a torbie (tortoiseshell-tabby) in order to get your cat's color and siblings colors.

Ok you have a red tabby - mated to a black/white tom.

Without adding any dilute (recessive) genes:

Tortie or Torbie (tortie-tabby) females
Red tabby males

Since the tom has white - add into the above colors some white markings.

If both mom and dad happen to be carrying the dilute genes, the above colors could wind up being dilute tortie (blue cream) females; cream males.

BTW I do hope you plan on spaying mom when the kittens are about 6-8 weeks old and in the process of being weaned. She's had enough litters already. She should have been spayed after the first time she had kittens.

Just be VERY sure she does not get outside after giving birth. Even tho she's being spayed when the kits are 8 weeks old, she could come into heat before then and get out. Spring is coming - prime time for more females coming into heat quickly.
