Domestic cats have mixed genes and the babies can come out any which way. The question is why would you want to breed a cat when millions are being killed in the shelters every year due to lack of homes? Please spay and neuter both. Purrs, The Cat Lady Could be anything.

This means when you breed any cat with a ginger, there is a one in four chance that a kitten will be ginger. Cats however usually have litters of 3 or four kittens at a time. Thus, you are likely to get 1 black (it looks black but is rarely absolutely black), 1 ginger and 2 tabby's in this cross. Ginger and black are both recessive genes.

I know a cat that had a grey tabby mother and an orange tabby father and the kitten came out mostly grey tabby but with orange areas. It’s a luck of the draw really.

The colours will depend on the genetics of both cats. Tabby is a colour not a breed as is ginger. If they are short hair - DSH Domestic short hair Fluffy - DMH Domestic medium hair Very fluffy like you see on persians - DLH Domestic long hair As for the tabby being the most common, in our cattery this year we have been inundated with blacks and black and white cats - go figure You will get more domestic cats.

If you bred grey & ginger tabbies together, you're most likely to get ginger kittens & tabby kittens, and maybe a tortoiseshell as well. Most likely tabby kittens though. Mixing two colours together doesn't necessarily mean you'll end up with a colour somewhere in the middle. It all depends on gentics.
