"Scout"
Blue/Cream Mitted Female
RESERVED for Zeb
Scout came out of the womb meowing! She was named after the outspoken little
girl in "To Kill A Mocking Bird". She was first out of the box and the first to eat. She comes running when she hears people
and cries for her attention. She is very energetic and this picture betrays her true nature. It is a sweet shot of her. Scout
is the current running favorite of guests that visit the kittens. She is darker than her siblings and her mitts are the
most defined. Her face is more slender like her Champion mother, but she is also the largest of the litter. Scout is a very
vibrant kitten!
"Serenity"
Blue/Cream Mitted Female
RESERVED for John & Bobbi
Serenity is one of the "twins" from this litter.
She is my personal favorite, this week. She purrs when you pet her and already "flops". It was hard to tell the twins apart
until now, personalities are beginning to form. Serenity is so cuddly. She is the most trusting kitten. I put her out
for pictures, and she stayed wherever I put her and just settled down for a nap. She just ate her first portion of food, maybe
that helped! Serenity has a perfect split nose between blue & cream. Her mitts are the least defined and her paws will
be mostly cream. She has a very full face like her father's and always looks like she is content and smiling.
Roxy (Sarafina)
BlueCream Mitted Female
RESERVED for Rich and Rhonda
Sarafina is the other "twin" of this little, like
her sister she has a perfect split nose between blue & cream. She is also very beautiful and learning to pounce. She was
the first to play with toys. Sarafina is also a gentle natured kitten. She is always the second. Second out of the box, second
to eat. It was very hard to tell her apart from her sister and is just as lovey. I enjoy the twins very much. Sorry the picture
is blurry, but she looked so cute and ready to pounce!
Kiro (BumbleBee)
Cream Mitted or Colorpoint Male
RESERVED for Jenn
BumbleBee broke the mold for my S-name theme, he was too much
of a bumble to be named anything else for now. BumbleBee suits his personality and coloring perfectly! BumbleBee will look
like TigerLily, cream and white in coloring. I have wanted to keep him he is so cute! He already flops. Today, like his father,
he climbed to the highest point (my knee) and then flopped down and surveyed his kingdom (my bathroom). He is very cuddly
and likes to be held. BumbleBee is a little more tentative in nature and VERY clumsy!

A little about the red/cream genetics
The reason for all the male kittens being cream and all females will be blue/cream
is that the cream/red gene is sex linked. All my breeder cats only have the dilute or recessive blue or cream genes
to give, all kittens' coat color will be the ressive blue and cream colors.
The cream/red gene is located only on the "X" chomozome, and it functions
differently than the other color genes. When an adult male cat receives an "X" chomozome with the cream/red gene, it
will be cream/red. The male cat has "XY" and the cream/red gene wins.
It is more intersting with females. A female is "XX". When only one of the "X"
chomozomes is cream/red in a girl, the other color gene received they work together, both colors show up in the
coat. Yeilding a tortie or a blue/cream depending on the recessive dilute gene. To get a blue/cream, each gene from each
parent must be the dilute or recessive.
In very rare occations, 1 in 10,000, a male is tortie or blue/cream. That would
be the genetic mutation of "XXY".
The only way to get a cream/red girl is if both parents each give an
"X" with the red/cream gene. Meaning to guarentee a cream/red girl, both parents are cream/red to begin with. A cream/red
tortie can pass an "X" gene too, but it is 50/50 chance.
