Hi all, long time cat owner, first time poster.
Back in Sept, my 6mo kitten apparently went into heat without my noticing which resulted in a late November litter of 6 healthy kittens by her brother (ironically he was neutered what must've been right after her heat). Mom is a DLH blue buff classic tabby. Dad is a DSH brown mackeral tabby. 2 kittens were brown mackeral tabbys, 2 were blue buff classics, 1 a grey/blue mackeral tabby and then this guy. He is solid grey but in the right light there appears to be ghost stripes. He also is...shimmery for lack of a better word. It's almost like he's covered in a brushed silver. Is he just a grey cat? Is there a breed somewhere in his moggy background that could contribute to his neat coloring? Since his parents are littermates, would I be wrong in speculating that he just got some either recessive or dominant combo? Also, he (& 3 other kittens) seem to have rexing on the tops of their heads or down around their necks. Not sure if that helps shed any light. Thanks!!
