🧬 What Do All These Letters Mean?

Welcome to the Kitten Color Predictor! Use the dropdowns to select the genetics of your sire and dam, then click "Predict" to explore the possible coat colors, point types, and red/tortie outcomes in their kittens.

This tool is designed with Cherubim Ragdolls in mind, including solid, mink, sepia, and pointed varieties, as well as chocolate, cinnamon, and dilute carriers.

🖤 B Locus – Base Color

• B/B — Black (Seal, if pointed, mink or sepia)

• B/b — Black or Seal carrying chocolate

• B/bl — Black or Seal carrying cinnamon

• b/b — Chocolate

• b/bl — Chocolate carrying cinnamon

• bl/bl — Cinnamon

❄️ C Locus – Color Restriction (Pointing)

• C/C — Solid (no point gene)

• C/cs — Solid carrying pointed

• C/cb — Solid carrying sepia

• cs/cs — Pointed (traditional Ragdoll)

• cb/cb — Sepia (like Burmese)

• cs/cb — Mink (between pointed and sepia)

🎨 D Locus – Dilution

• D/D — Not dilute

• D/d — Carrier of dilute (can produce blue, lilac, etc.)

• d/d — Dilute (kitten will be blue, lilac, fawn, or cream)

🔥 O Locus – Red or Tortie

• O — Red (applies to males or part of tortie in females)

• o — Non-red

• Oo — Female tortie (must inherit one red gene)

💡 In red × black or chocolate/cinnamon pairings, red may "mask" the other color. The tool accounts for this based on sex and genotype.
