Ragdoll Cat Forums

I have a Lilac colorpoint Male Ragdoll and I am going to breed him to a Flame Colorpoint Female. Does anyone know what color kittens I would get?

That chart may be misleading if the queen does not carry chocolate and/or dilute since some possibilities will drop out.

I have not yet wrapped my head around the chocolate and O gene together yet but my guess would be that unless Mum carries choc and dilute, that the kittens would be Males - Red, Females - Seal Tortie. If Mum carries dilute then Males - Red, Cream, Females - Seal tortie, Blue/Cream. If Mum carries choc then Males - Red, Females - Seal tortie, Chocolate tortie. And lastly, If Mum carries both dilute and chocolate then Males - Red, Cream and Females - Seal Tortie, Blue/Cream, Chocolate Tortie and Lilac/Cream.

Is this correct Jan?

Correct.

Good reason to have cats DNA color tested. Not sure if you heard but Chocolate was confirmed to exist in "unoutcrossed" lineage from the cats Denny exported to the U.K.

DNA testing does not help understand the chart.
