Mixed Kittens

Question
I have a soft grey and white tiger printed female persian that mated with a neighbors cat. He appears to be an Abisinian. The kittens all look very similar. The birth was difficult for the female so I imagine this is why any information was hard to find. The kittens resemble Toygers but not entirely. Did she make designer kittens or just really beautiful exotic looking ones?

Answer
Kimberly,

No, I am sorry, no designer kittens, just beautiful exotic looking ones out of this mix. The ticked tabby allele (one of the major characteristics of the Abyssinian cat) is very dominant and often produces some really beauties when mixed with other tabby alleles.

Best regards... Norm.
