so as I said in my last post, I think my cat, nala, might be pregnant. If nala is calico and the tom is gray, what colors might the kittens be? I've attached a picture of nala, but I couldn't get a picture of the tom.

You can't tell in the pictures, by she has more calico coloring on her back and tail.

I guess I should probably say she's calico, and white

I dunno!  But she is a sheer, stunning beauty!    Is the tail dark?  If so, it will be technically a Van Pattern.  But unusually handsome!

But if not, I suppose she is a tortoise shell with  very lotsa of white....

Do I see a shadow on M on the forehead?  you see any stripes?  If so, she is a tabby too.  And will be called for torbie and white.

What did my mother sayed in such situations with such overhelming  beauty?  Oj oj ne mogu, pocienice za nogu, pocienice za ruku!     Oy oy, I cant stand it any more of this, draw me in the leg, draw me in the arm someone!

Good luck!  @csparks99  

ps.  How big is she?

Her boys will be red tabbies, or dark (I want to say no dark tabbies because the father is solid and her black areas seem to not be tabby but my understanding of tabby genetics isn't complete). So probably solid black or blue (the proper name for gray). The girls can be calico/tortie or solid black or blue. They'll probably have a lot of white. If she carries a dilute gene some can be dilute like their dad but if she doesn't carry the gene they won't be.

She looks like a superhero with that mask! She's a gorgeous calico domestic long hair.

The "gray" father. Do you mean a blue or a black + silver, and with or without tabby?

You say the father is gray. Is he a solid gray (blue) or striped? Does he have any white on him? Feline genetics can get complicated, so the more details you can give us the better.
