Hello all!
I saw in another thread that a few of you are very well-versed in coat color genetics, so I thought it was worth a shot to ask what colors to reasonably expect from my pregnant kitty. She is black. I did a little bit of research unsuccessfully, all I know for sure is that black is a dominant color gene, so I don't know what colors are even possible from a black parent.
Here are the possible fathers, from what I know of our neighborhood:
1. Red
2. Black
3. Black and White
4. Gray and White
5. Brown Tabby (not sure, it might be a female; I know the others are male).
Any insight would be greatly appreciated
One more question instead of creating another thread...she is getting black spots near the tips of her nipples that weren't there before. Is this something that a vet needs to look at or should I just try to clean them? I'm so afraid to touch her belly too much!
