Have you ever heard of this scenerio where a black haired momma cat gave birth to all white haired kittens or vice versa? I wonder if that could happen? I know it's probably possible as it's only hair color. I would be at a loss for words, LOL.

I haven't heard of this, but I think it's possible, too. I'd be puzzled if a black cat gave birth to a white puppy. It would be like Obama giving birth to Bush.[/em]

Actually, it is of the same chance that the black kitten gave birth to white kittens. Genetics are pretty similar across species and can be charted by a Punnett Square as well. And there are cases of black parents giving birth to white children (legitimately and not through extramarital affairs). In fact, I remember reading about twins, one with black skin and one with white skin, in Biology. While it isn't too common, things like this happen.

It's great to know that this could happen. Although, it's pretty weird, don't you think? I mean, the husband would most likely suspect the wife of sleeping with another guy if something like this occurred.

LOL yes but in the case of animals they don't really care of that happened.

that is true, there are some cases that a white cat gave birth with a black kitten. I had a white cat then whe she gave birth she had 2 pure white kitten and 1 pure black kitten. Very cute and some kinda lucky charm that black kitten to my family. It's true.

Well.. I do not really know much about this scenario. But as you said, I would also be astonished to find such things happening. But anyhow, on reading this discussion, the first question that came into my mind was 'What would have been the color of the 'Dad kitten?!'

True, but I think if there had been more than one dad cat the colors would be all different also as I have had cats who had kittens of different colors. One cat I had who was tiger striped and white, had a few black kittens for example and other colors.

Awe, thats too cute, I would have loved to see them. This is something that I had just thought of the other day and in fact never crossed my mind ever before, can you believe it? I'm sure the black cat brought you lots of luck in your family!
