Question
what possible color will my kittens be? My male cat is a seal mink, his mother is a seal lynx point, and his father is a brown tabby. And my female cat is a fawn and her mother is a seal sepia, and there dad is brown ticked.

Answer
A LOT depends on what the male is carrying colorwise-having him dna tested would help considerably. Based on what you've provided, someone's color is wrong.  You can't get a mink from a brown tabby x a seal.  Also, for your female to be a fawn, one of her parents would have to be a cinnamon or a fawn.  I would be doing you a disservice to give you colors based on genetics that are impossible.  Have your kitties dna color tested--you may have problems registering their litters if you try to register them as something genetically impossible, and only the DNA certification will allow you to do so.  Wish I could be of more help!
