My burmese cat had a litter of tortie kittens. I have space on my breeding programme for a new family member, but am torn. One is very pretty with LOTS of cream and ginger patches. The other is feisty and courageous which I love, but has a mostly black coat. I was just wondering if our mostly black kitten has a more dominant black gene, or if they are the same genetically and one has just shown more ginger? We are planning to breed her with my chocolate mink when the time is right. Mum is a blue burmese.
