Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone knew what color kittens these two would have? I have looked everywhere about genes and I just can't figure it out. Was hoping anyone here would know?

Male cat is white with some cream colors around the face and tail. unsure of his mother and father but all the kittens in his liter looked identical.

The girl cat is all black except for one speck of white in the center of her chest.

Also second question? We thought our white male could have been a cream rag doll after doing research..does this seem correct?

With as much white as he has, he probably has dominant white spotting so that means all the kittens will have a lot of white. The males will be black or blue (or dark tabbies) and the females will be calicos.

Ragdolls have long fur. . .so he's not purebred Ragdoll. But who knows, he may have some in his background somewhere, no way to know really. He's a fine handsome boy!

Be sure to keep the male away from the mama cat until she's spayed. . .cats can get pregnant again right after goving birth and it's very hard on their bodies to have pregnancies so close together.

He's due to be nuetered next week. We are holding off on her because we are unsure if our female is pregnant now. I'm going to just assume she is. Because my male has mounted her although he didn't seem to be doing anything. She's never gone into heat as far as I know. If she isn't pregnant she's getting spayed right after!
We have had so many people wanting us to mate them due to how beautiful he is and them wanting to have a kitten ,so I know that they would go to good homes and we would kee the ones who didn't go to another home. That wasn't our plan but looks like it may have happened lol!

They only did it once or twice and he didn't seem to know what to do exactly so what are the odds of her being pregnant do you think ?

Thank you btw. he is very handsome and he knows it. He's such a big baby!

He is a cream point, and as his littermates were identical - both parents were probably points.  At least one, but probably both.   The question is, if his whitish body color is the usual point bleakish beige nuance, or if its white for real.  If its white for real, he also carry the white gene color yes.   But if he is really just the usual  light point color on the body, not truly white, he doesnt carry white at all.

Anyway, he carries red + the diluting gene.   And the point gene, but it needs to be doubled up to show.  Momma is black.   Girls will tend to be torties, boys will tend to be black.    If momma happens to carry the point gene, someone of the kittens will be a point.

Females can have silent heats. Please keep him away from her when you can supervise from now and until a month after his neuter, in case she's not pregnant.

How old are they?

Will you spay and neuter all the little ones before rehoming?

I would go ahead and take her in for spay anyway, unless you are are just dead-set on wanting to produce kittens.  I just took one in for spay that we were unsure about, we know a tom had gotten her the week or so prior (we saw the kitty porn on the security cameras outside!!).  She went through the spay just fine, although I did ask for her to stay at the vet's office over a weekend for more time to recover.

Could you encourage the people you know wanting a kitten out of your two to actually go visit a shelter and take a needy one home instead?  I bet there are very pretty ones sitting on borrowed time right now.
