Same thing is mother has two seal genes and father has one seal and one recessive.

If both mother and father have all seal genes, all kittens will be seal and have genes for seal.

But say Both the mom and dad have one seal gene and on recessive gene, approximately 3/4 of the kittens will be seal (with 1/2 being carriers of recessive gene) and 1/4 with have both recessive genes and will be the recessive color.

So it is possible to get colors other than seal if there are other colors in the cats' lines
That is soooo cool...too bad I didnt know more about the parents and ancestors so I knew but I guess it will be known soon enough...so if they are all seal then they wont carry the recessive gene for another colour? It would be neat if other colours showed up but seals are pretty too!! I am so happy that you will add more photos..I love looking at them!!

Thanks,
Dawn
