Is this correct?
Hi Group.
We've been told that when a cat has a litter of kittens and they all come out with different coats, colours, patterns etc etc, and some looking nothing like their mother then that is because the mother mated with a few different male cats and each one of those males is a father to one of the litter. Is this right? I personally don't know enough about cats to know if this can be the case. I would've thought just one male cat would produce all the coat variations in the litter. The cat in question had a litter of 5 cats. Owners have no idea who the father is. The mother is more of a tortoiseshell and mostly very dark with the odd spot of white (not much) In the litter there is a white toed, everywhere else jet black kitten, a very sandy with ginger stripes kitten and a brown toed, everywhere else jet black kitten and a totally jet black kitten The last one is a tortoiseshells just like the mother. So.... One father, or different fathers, for the kittens?? Anyone know? Thanks. |
