Didn't think of that - and I know its been done. Might be a very good idea to get the test done. Especially if she's keeping any for show or breeding!
Nope, she said one of the black ones is the female, it has some tortie looking markings around the face and on the back close to the back legs, that much we CAN tell. Her belly is white almost all the way down though, that wouldn't be a tortie would it? Her face has some reddish markings around her eyes and mouth, and like 3 of these markings on the undercoat, if that is a word even. I didn't notice it at first until she pointed this out to me. So according to her, and even she had to call in someone else for help on this one..... both reds are males, and she says one of those might even be a cream/white, not a red at all, and one is a definite red, and the other two are a black and and possible tortie/calico. She doesn't breed persians, only Himalayans, so she has little experience with Persians. She is going to talk to someone else she knows that breeds persians.Originally Posted by GoldenKitty45
Then one of the red/creams is a girl - too bad you didn't get another tortie out of the litter - would have been helpful in sexing the kittens
Yes, she has red spots on her face, one on each cheek, one above each eye and three on her back. Dilana has no white, so I wasn't sure a tortie could have white on it, now I know. Thank you. I learned something new today, so I am better already.Originally Posted by GoldenKitty45
Ok that makes sense then. She would be a tortie and white - not a calico. But I had a tortie kitten when born only had a very tiny spot of red on their back (more red came in later). Thought she was a black till I notice the spot.
I didn't notice any red on the kitten. Since you have a tortie - then its positive the father is the red/white.
Just looked at the pics again - looks like a red smudge near the nose - is that the tortie? The fever coat would hide any other red markings till its gone.
As far as cream - it MIGHT be - too early to tell, but usually cream is very pale. It might be a lighter red. Have to wait and see.

Yes I am breeding Persians as well as Himalayans.... he is my male to go with my Females, of which I have 3 of. lolOriginally Posted by sarahp
Your babies sound absolutely precious!!!! I love when they start learning how to play, you can just watch them for hours
Just out of curiosity, are you breeding your Himalayan as well? I assume you've thought of the fact that he wouldn't be able to breed with the Persians if he was fixed
