Is it possible for an all black cat with silver paws to come out of a cats who are multi silver and brown with black paws? Also, would the name Thunderstrike be okay?

As for the genetics, I don’t know what you are trying to say. Cats aren’t black with silver paws, some grey cats can have a silver tinge though (like my lovely kitty hehe) on their paws and muzzle.  and by multi silver and brown with black paws are you trying to say tortoiseshell?

Please look at this and get back to me, I’m afraid what you are describing isn’t physically pawsible ;;

As for Thunderstrike, Thunder is a sound, so a cat can’t look like a thunder. A cat can look like a Storm-(grey or black cat) or Lightning- (white or pale ginger cat) but not Thunder-.

-strike is okay I guess, it could mean cat strikes like a ____ or that the cat is a phenomenal fighter. -claw means that too, but I guess as long as we get the idea it’s fine. ;3

About the cream and black + pale cream anon, I just wanted to point out that as the mother didn't seem to carry the tabby gene, if the father carried even only one tabby gene there'd be about a 50% chance of solid kittens. Though, as you said, if the stripes are faint on a red it likely doesn't carry the tabby gene. I'm not sure if that's something you normally, assume it carried no unseen genes unless stated otherwise, but just thought I'd mention that. *shrugs*

We usually don’t assume unseen genes, except in cases like this.


You are correct though, if he does have one tabby gene then half the offspring would be solid. But, its more plausible he would have no tabby genes (because of the faint markings).

We would rather not assume genes. We have a section on what to put in asks about cat genetics in the bar to the right, but we don’t often get people actually reading them, considering this person didn’t include what the cream male’s non “red” family members look like (from which we can conclude if he is tabby, how many tabby genes he carries, which of the black,chocolate,or cinnamon genes he has, ect) They also didn’t mention if they have any dilutes or not. Therefore we can pretty much conclude they didn’t read it. (but don’t be offended lovely anon, simple mistake honestly! ;3 )

I guess the rules make it easier on us and less likely for confusions to happen, but I’m not going to enforce them strictly since it really isn’t that much of a hassle to type a couple alternate pawsibilities for the kittens as apposed to hound them for information that may be of no consequence. However, like in this case, it does cause some problems. :c

tldr;

No one follows the guidelines on genetics asks and puts us in ambiguous kitty situations which usually aren’t too problematic.

Thank you for being concerned though! I would hate to give out the wrong genetics advice!

Hello this is the cream tom & cream+black molly anon! So yeah the tom is just cream -with very light tabby markings- and the she-cat is siamese like! She might possibly have the trait in her -not yet decided- but she really looks like one.. She's kind of like, very dark chocolate point vwv Sorry for not being completely clear for the first time!

Fff its fine, cats are hard man! You can call their colors so many different things, it sometimes gets lost in translation -u-

In this case, assuming the dad is just a regular warrior with no points or chocolates in his family, all the males will be brown tabbies (brown with black stripes) and all females will be (torbies)tortoiseshell tabbies (ginger and brown with stripes, black stripes on the brown).

If the mother has dilute cats in her family (lilacs maybe since she is chocolate hehe) then half the kits will be grey tabby males and dilute torbie females (grey and cream with stripes).

But since the males tabby is so light, he may have the gene for solid but does not express it since he is a “red” cat. In that case, all male kits will be Black, all females solid tortoiseshell (ginger and black, stripes only on ginger but pawsibly faint). If this is so and the mother has the dilute gene, half the kits will get it to, then grey toms and dilute tortie(grey and cream, stripes on cream faint if you desire) she cats are pawsible.:3

You were talking to another anon earlier about colorpoint cats, what about Himalayans? I can't really imagine one wanting to be a warrior, but if a few got around enough, their genes would probably be relatively healthier for the clans, since they don't seem to be as prone to health risks. Plus, we know that brachycephalic cats can function just fine as warriors since Brightflower and Yellowfang didn't seem to have too many problems.
Anonymous

Hmm reading about them it seems you are correct! (and also these are what Sassy was from the Homeward Bound movie omg)

They are prone to sinus problems, so they may take an extra hit from green cough and white cough and get it more often if they have the brachycephalic face. They have a chance at getting polycystic kidney disease but it is much lower then in Persians. Plus after getting watered down by “normal” warriors they probably will lose or decrease the risk of both of these things.

This is a good idea other anon!

Okay guys, we’re getting close to 100 followers (we’re at 91!)and we still plan to do a contest of some sort.

We still have the ideas on the table, but we haven’t heard back from you guys :c

Current Ideas and their Creators:

Mini-fic contest- R’s mom

Character Contest- Spotted-leaf

Scavenger Hunt Hunting Patrol- R

So, what do you guys think?

What kind of kittens would a pale cream tom and pale cream & black patched she-cat make? vwv This blog is very, very helpful btw! -crawls back to the hole she stalks you from-
Anonymous

fff come back out of your hole friend I’m not done with you yet! >:3

I’m not quite sure what you mean by “pale cream” unless you are trying to say fawn or cream point or just cream.

And I’m afraid a tortie cannot have cream and black at the same time, cream is a dilute color, black is a nondilute color. She can be Black and Red, Grey and Cream, Chocolate and Red, Lilac and Cream, Light Brown/Cinnamon and Red, or Fawn and Cream.

Try taking a look at this and picking something out, then google it to make sure that’s what you like :3

(and also thank you omg we lvoe hearign thigns from our followers ;w; <33)

How often would colorpoint cats be seen in clans?
Anonymous

Rarely I’d say, Color point is recessive to normal markings and is only really found in pure breeds.

However, pure breed color points like the Siamese and Ragdoll are popular pets, so if there was a kittypet breeding with warriors (male Siamese are actually notorious for being players) then after a few generations of the gene being among the kitties, eventually two kitties with this gene would breed which could result in colorpoint kittens.

A cat that is a colorpoint breed though probably wouldn’t be a healthy warrior. i.e. Siamese have thin fur and are prone to eye and heart defects. Even 2nd or 3rd generation cats may be at risk. (I have ,what I believe to be, a 3rd generation Siamese mix with cross eyes and a thin coat) So do a little research on the breed you want contributing to warriors, there are long hairs, short hairs, healthy, and unhealthy just find one that suits your clan best! A cat with thin fur won’t be bad somewhere with tropical forest, a cat with thick fur will be purrfect for a cold climate.

hi so what parents would be possible for a calico she-cat and two chocolate tabby toms? (I've asked you guys stuff before on anon, but anyways i love this blog a lot :$)

Ahah well, welcome back to the party >BD

Father would be a ginger tabby, mother would most likely be a chocolate tabby or possibly even a chocolate tortie. The father has to have chocolate or lilac cats in his family.

At least one of the parents has to have a decent amount of white on them, if both do then the chocolate toms have to have white too. :3

When he brings Amberkit back to the clan, one of the nursing queens looks after her. Every cat is extremely curious where she came from, but no cat would dare question Smokestar's loyalty. He's lead them well, they trust him to not betray them.
Anonymous

Sure, as long as the kit is “amber” colored (likely just orange/ginger rather then an amber cat). It wouldn’t seem as conceited to name her after her mother since they don’t know her mother. The nursing queen must have had a little incentive to nurse the kit though if the leaf bare was hard, probably all or most of her kits died or she had a small litter (probably one kit).

If Smokestar is a main/secondary character though I assume his personality is a little more rounded then “trusted leader”. ;3
