Simplified Color Chart Traditional Category

This document from the International Cat Association provides a simplified color chart for traditional cat breeds. It shows the possible color outcomes when breeding different colored parents, such as a black cat paired with a chocolate cat could produce kittens that are black, chocolate, or cinnamon. Notes provide additional context, such as explaining that a lilac cat must inherit a blue and chocolate allele from each parent to exhibit that coloration. The chart and notes aim to help breeders understand cat coat color inheritance.

*Choc=Chocolate Cinn=Cinnamon
4. Chocolate/cinnamon and
blue are separate unrelated genes. As a result a blue and a chocolate or a blue and a cinnamon can
produce a black. If the blue parent carries chocolate or cinnamon, chocolate or cinnamon is possible. If
the chocolate or cinnamon parent carries blue, blue is possible. If both blue and chocolate are present,
lilac is possible. If both blue and cinnamon are present, fawn is possible.

5. Two chocolates, two cinnamons, or two blues can NEVER produce a black.
