hello, i just posted a question about false pregnancy and forgot to ask if anyone can lead me to a good site on genetics, i'm most interested in persian and himilayan colors, i've only been a breeder for a short time and would like to find a few sites that can be a guide to which colors to expect in kittens
thanks
Jodi

Also you could try asking Sam (Wellington Cats) in a pm - she breeds Persians and Exotics and know lots about their colours...

I bred cornish rexes and did a lot of research on genetics and colors. I'll try to help if you have questions.

There is an excellent cat genetics book that you can buy on the CFA web site. You could also look up Dr. Susan Little, she has done a lot of research on genetics/breeding.

I would recommend Robinson's Cat Genetics for breeders and veterinarians, which in my opinion is a "must read" for all breeders.
