I don't know because I am asking the question: What breeds will most likely produce a black cat? I know it is based on genes, etc. I have an orange tabby male and a gray tabby female and a tortoise shell female. What are the chances I will end up with a black cat? I plan on fixing the cats but I was wondering if I have a chance at a black cat. I know it is ok if they are from the same family which is why I am allowing them to have a kitten. I want to fix them but I am willing to wait if I can have a black cat from this particular family due to the personality of their family gene.
Answer
There is no particular breed is more likely to produce a black cat, except the Bombay breed. Mixed breeds (Domestic Shorthairs/Moggies) have such a varied gene pool is is very difficult to judge what will produce a black kitten. However, it sounds unlikely that an orange tabby, grey tabby and a tortoiseshell will produce a black kitten.
It is ideal to spay and neuter your cats, and if you really wish to have a black kitten, to adopt one from a local animal shelter. This will save a lot of money, energy and time in helping raise two sets of litters.
