My cat, a rescue, just had a litter of kittens and they're coloring is so odd. They're roots I guess you'd call it is dark, or regular colored, and ends are white. It's just I'm curious about it all and am wondering if anyone can explain why they are like that to me, what this coloring is called and if it's just a baby kitten thing or will they look like this as adults? Thanks in advance. Mom kitty, Pansy, is a long haired dilute torbie. Dad is...well unknown. Here is a pic of the babies and a pic of the darkest one to get an idea of what they all look like with the dark roots and light ends.
