Introducing Dusty

This a snap shot of my terror Dusty and if anyone knows what type of kitten he is would really help

Are you certain he is a he? Because he looks like a dilute tortie in that pic, but hard to tell.

An adorable domestic short hair nevertheless.

The type of kitten it is is cute!

Yeah it's deffo a male as his you know what's are growing and he's a terror and one min he's friendly then the next he's naughty but he has a little mouse to play with and goes nuts over it.

i have to be honest, I would have guessed at a female as well, based on the colouration - the image looks like very faint tortie, but I guess you have the, ahem, low down, on that one. He's certainly a cute little guy.

This image is of Dusty at a few weeks old with the mother cat and see if this pic helps

Now he REALLY looks like a female! Has he been to the vet yet? If he's a male, with those colors, you've got a VERY unusual cat!

Not been to the vet yet but Dusty dislikes the cat carrier when we took him home a month ago but once i get him to the vet then see what happens next but if he's male then it will be an unusual cat to say the least

That cat is definitely a dilute tortie (blue/cream), in which case, if Dusty is a male, you do indeed have a very unusual kitten.

Tortie(and calico) are sex linked to females, so for a male to be tortie(or calico) means he has an extra chromosome.

Females are XX, males are XY, a calico or tortie male would be XXY

Yeah and on the fur is bits of ginger mainly around the left eye and the paws and the black streaks down the back

He's adorable

This was taken yesterday afternoon of Dusty on the table and there is a cat who lives over the wall and they dont get on dunno why really and Dusty seems to love scrabbing me as he did it today the nutter and my brother still calls him short arse for a joke

It's very unlikely Dusty is male, but a photo of the "business end" would make it clear to us.

There is the occasional male tortie, but so rare as to be a phenomenon.

as I read through the thread, I have to agree that if this is a male cat with those colors, it is like a few chance in a million...... They are so extremely rare.

Here's a new pic of Dusty taken two days ago

If he turns out to be a she, that is OK. I have a female Dusty!

it's likely that's my kitten is a male as the beloew area is growing

I must say I have seen several tortie males in cat shows, so it could be more common than many people think. But rare and unusual anyway.

Beautiful cat and if it is MALE - very unusual!!

Yeah and even more with Amber eyes
