QUESTION: Thank you for your reply

Now by using the chart, should i consider my
white male as black since he is masking
black? Does this mean i might get black
kittens?

Answer
Hi Blaze

Yes to both questions.
White is a dominant colour and if it is masking as it most often does then you could have balc kittens on the proposed matings.
Were you are some particular colour?
It sometimes help to work out what you want then adjust the mating accordingly.

BUT do remember nature hs a habot of biting you when you least expect it.
