What color kittens will a white male & golden female Persian cat have?

Even though none of the kittens have Siamese color, they will have genes from both their mother and father. The color of kittens depends on which genes are expressed. The kittens will be considered a Siamese-Persian mix.

Hi, thabks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Yes it is possible that some or all could have the longer Persian hair if the mother. Though it is also just as possible that they could have short hair. I’m not sure who is in the pictures you posted, parents or kittens. I hope this helps!

Hello and welcome to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. In terms of what the kittens will be like, they will be a mix of the breeds of the parents. It is impossible to predict exactly what the kittens will look like, some will likely look like the female, some like the male, and some a mix of both. I know that isn't very specific information, however the question you are asking doesn't have an answer. Best of luck!

No, the kittens will stay the same color they are now. Orange kittens are the friendliest and most popular here. The mother looks like a calico which is rare in male cats. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you get answers to your veterinary questions.

That's a great question! Color genetics in cats can be somewhat complicated, but essentially, tortie cats carry two separate genes for coat color - orange and black. Color genes are carried on the X-chromosome in cats, so only females can have both orange and black coloration - females have two X chromosomes, while males have one X and one Y. This is why torties and calicos are always female :) Each of her kittens will inherit one color gene, either orange or black. Depending on the color of the father, and whether the kittens are male or female, each kitten could easily end up with a gene for just one color. For example - a boy might get the "orange" gene from mom and nothing from dad (since males have one X and Y chromosome, so only one color). A girl might get the "orange" or "black" gene from mom, but not both - so whether or not she is a tortie would depend on the gene she gets from dad. So, in simple terms, it depends on the color of the father and the sex of the kittens - but can easily happen!

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Coat color genetics is complicated and isn’t straight forward. The fact you got 2 black puppies when mating 2 white Pomeranians means somewhere in the lines of either one or both parents had black coated relatives. What you see isn’t always what you get with genes. That’s why 2 brown eyed people sometimes have a blue eyed baby. I hope this helps!

Hello and thank you for reaching out to PetCoach. Depending on the genes of the two hamsters who mated, a variety of different hamster colors can be created - even if it doesn't seem to match either of the parents. This is because of dominant and recessive genes/alleles that compete for expression in the genome. Here is a website that explains the genetics of syrian hamsters, for example. http://www.midlandhamsterclub.co.uk/articles/genetics.html I hope this is helpful!
