What color kittens do you get if you mate a male orange cat and a black female?

Siamese have pale bodies with darker colored points on the face, legs, feet and tail. All Siamese kittens are light-colored at birth and develop the pattern over time.
The color of Siamese mixed breed kittens will depend partly on the sire's breed. My Siamese had five kittens, two had the same markings as the mama cat, one pure black, and two black and white ones.

∙ 13y agoIt is usually very difficult to accurately predict what colour the kittens might be, as it depends on what genes are the most dominant. Some kittens might be ginger, some black, a mix of the two, or some might have completely different colouring from the parents.
Coat colours don't soley depend on the parent's genes alone, colour genes from generations before can suddenly appear, so there really is no way of knowing what colour the kittens will be until they are born.

What color will the kittens be if the female is a calico and the male is cream?
well a cat can have any color kitten. my cat was gray and had kittens that were black, white and black and white kittens so it just really depends.
What color will the kittens be if the female is calico and the male is black?
it all depends on the dominant genes. If the female is dominant then her color with some of the male, and visa versa.
What color kittens will a black cat have?
black and white
What color are kittens when they are born?
orange or ginger is on the X chromosome, women are XX and men are XY, orange in dominant to other colors.The mother gives all of her offspring Xs and the father gives either an X or a Y, if he gives an X it will be a girl, if he gives a Y it will be a boy. If the mother is black and white the male kittens will be some variation of black and white or whatever color she has in her genes,because they wont receive an X with the orange trait on it, the female kittens will be either orange or mixed like calico or tortise shell, because one of their Xs is from the orange male, it will have the orange gene which is either dominant to other colors or blends with them.
What did the parents of a female tortoiseshell cat and her brother a black short hair look like?
There is no way to tell. Cat genetics is complicated, and I don't know all the rules of inheritance involved, but there are multiple ways that a litter can produce both a black kitten and a tortie kitten. A cat is tortoiseshell as the result of two color genes (or alleles) found in the same locus on the X chromosome. One allele modifies fur color, changing the base color to orange or cream, and the other allele does not modify fur color. Both alleles are expressed in the coat, so that some patches are modified to red or cream and other patches retain the base color, which gives rise to the typical tortoiseshell coat. So a tortie must have one of each type of orange allelle - one that will change the base color and one that won't. One of these came from her mom and the other from her dad. A tortie will almost always be female, since males only have one X chromosome and will only have one version of the orange allele. Since her brother is black it seems likely that your tortie is the black/orange variety. If so, possible combinations of parents would be: Orange male and black female, or black male and orange female, or orange male and black/orange female, or black male and black/orange female. So far so good, but her parents may have had color genes that were not passed on to either her or her brother. For example, one parent may have had the dilution gene, changing a black fur color to blue (grey). So her parents could also have been orange male and blue female, blue male and orange female, orange male and blue/cream female, black male and blue/cream female, cream male and black female, black male and cream female. And if you add other possibilites that the kittens may not have inherited, then the picture gets even more complex. Maybe someone with better understanding of cat genetics could clarify this.
Your feline cat is a tortishell and she is pregnant she has had four litters of many kittens but not once has she had a tortishell what are the chances of her having a tortishell?
So first let me tell you how gets get tortise shell color. It happens because the trait for orange cats is dominant and on the X chromosome, females are XX and males are XY, each parent gives one Chromosome to a new offspring, the female can only give X because she only has X, the male can give an X or a Y, if he gives an X, the offspring will be XX or female if he gives a Y the offspring will be XY or male. Traits are either dominate or recessive, when you get a trait from each of your parents, the dominate one is passed on. the orange gene (O) is carried on the X chromosome; for this reason it is sex-linked. Males normally only have one X chromosome and so if a male carries the orange gene at all, he will be orange. Females have two X chromosomes; if both X chromosomes carry the orange gene, then the cat will be Red. However, many females carry the orange gene on only one chromosome, which allows the black-based color to show through in patches. This combination of orange and black is called Tortoiseshell. So your female has an X with the orange gene and an X with the black gene, so to get tortishell kittens she needs to have female kittens with a black or orange male, there is no gurantee though she will always produce lots of orange kittens, but if you get lucky with the right male she may have another little tortise shell daughter Thank you for the intelligent answer.
