Hi everyone I have two lovable, attention hungry boys who are about 4 months old.

Smokey is my black one. He's got a thin face and big round green eyes. He's the beta cat she he is a tiny bit smaller than Ash

Ash is my grey one who has chubby cheeks and the exact same green eyes as his family

I think they are domestics both of them (they ARE littermates, right?).  Blue/ grey is diluted black, it its a black gene + a dilutation gene.

So they do both carry black, and also have the less usual green eyes in common.

I suppose theoretically they could have a RB as near ancestor,  russian blue mixes are often black - no wonder they DO carry black gene...

This said not because of the looks, but because of the color of fur and eyes.

Thanks for the response. They are litter mates. I think your right they might have some RB because I think Ash look like one in the face as well.
