Breeding, Black male, Blue Female.

Question
Hi!  I would like to breed my cats in order to produce a white kitten.  I have a black male with a white locket and a blue female with a white locket and 2 white spots on her belly.  They are brother and sister and they had a solid white sibling who was not available for adoption.  If I recall correctly their mother was blue, I am not sure about the father.  My question is, do I have a good chance of producing a white kitten?

Answer
Hi

It is unlikely that you would get a solid white kitten from this mating as they both have a 'spotting' gene.  Any kittens would not be predominately white.

I would strong suggest that you don't mate brother and sister as you would run the risk of birth defects or even possibly losing the whole litter.

Hope this helps.

Marcia.
