Question
What types of kittens would a brown tabby maine coon male and a cream pointed ragdoll female most likely produce? Thanks

Answer
Hi Sabrina
This would be a strange mix of kittens reds and cream tabbies both male and female, red and cream tortie females. You would need to know if the Maine Coon male was carrying any colour from his parents, so eiter ask the breeder what colour the stud and queen were.
The ragdoll carries a strong colour in its body along with a possible mitted gene which may mask the tabby in any male kittens.
Also the kittens could not be called pedigree as this is not a recognised out cross in any cat organisation, so they would be nice but could only go as pets. Enjoy the result
