And please no comment about scottish fold being in pain or abnormalities. Most pure breed cat can have undisirable traits. If the breeder dose there home work and has the best interests of the animal there is no problem. Lolly is my 3rd scottish my 1st lived till she was 13 with no issues. It my first time to try n get a beutiful little out of any of my cats and i am just asking advice on colouring. Please dont hound me as i no some can be against scottish. However if u have never owned one i wouldnt pass judgement as what i base my opinion on is actually ownin this gorgeous breed xx shes been mated with a white spotted black full pedigree bsh

Hi @nadzooki Welcome to TCS.
Do you have papers for Lolly to prove that she is a pedigree Scottish Fold? Did you buy the breeding rights with her? If you got her from a reputable breeder they will usually be willing to act as a mentor and give you advice about breeding your cat. They would be the best person to ask about healthy kittens and possible colours.
Maybe @posiepurrs will be able to give you some advice about how best to make sure you don't allow any painful or debilitating traits to be passed on to the kittens. She certainly knows a lot about cat colours.

Has your cat mated? When do you think this occurred? Was she in heat at the time? How is she acting now?
I assume you are trying to determine whether she is pregnant.

She came on heat soo i sent her to tje chosen stud on her 3rd day of calling she stayed 5 days. And dealt with the hole procured wonderful. the updates i got and from.the cctv stills the deed occued on the 24th march so very much earlier days. I think she only accepted this male once
Ive read alsorts about the first signs being pinkin n possible sickness but cant find nothing for the behaviour in the first few days after? She completely out of heat now no calling etc but seems very clingy and affectionate not eating much but seems happy x

Sorry this phone auto spelling is shocking xxx
Ah, clingy and affectionate is usually a sign of pregnancy. It is a result of increased hormones causing the behavior. You'll know more soon!

Do you have a mentor that can help you? I am not passing judgement on your choice to breed Scottish Folds but no matter what breed you're working with, you should have an experienced ethical breeder who can mentor you. Buying a pedigreed kitten isn't enough. An ethical breeder should not sell a kitten/cat with breeding rights without making sure the buyer is either an experienced breeder or has a mentor.
As I understand it, when someone is starting out, the mentor is often the breeder who sells them the first kittens. That way, he or she is familiar with any specific issues which may come up in the breed - and specifically in his/her lines.
I hope that helps and I hope it's not too late for you to contact the breeder who sold you the kittens and ask for help and advice. Good luck!
