    Sorry about the wait! I've been busy.
    All kittens will be black (brown) mackerel tabbies, half of white will carry dilute.

I have a question about cat colours, and I was hoping you could help me out? c:
I was just wondering if it's possible for a black cat to have tabby stripes that are visible in sunlight. Like when the light hits their fur in a certain way, faint tabby stripes would be visible.

    Genetically speaking, if a cat is self (in this case, black) then they are black and should not display any tabby markings. However, black gains a brown sheen in the sun, so a black cat can appear to show tabby markings.
    One of my old cats, years ago now, had a litter of kittens before we had her spayed. The female was black and in the right light, looked a little brown, as did my very first cat back when I was a young child. It happens, just make sure people understand what you're saying.

    I'm still happy to do these, but I need to know the father's father and the mother's parents, as well as what colour she is under all that white.
    She also couldn't, realistically, have brown paws, unless she was siamese/colourpoint/ragdoll/birman.

Okay, then. I can't tell you what the mother's parents look like right now, because she is not my character.
The father's father is a red tabby with green eyes.

The mother's father was a mostly white grey and white bicolor, or blue and white if you want to use the official terms.

And her mother is a chocolate torbie, with most of the brown on her muzzle, tail, and legs. Her underbelly and chest is white, and the rest is mostly red. [Key word here is mostly]
~Thank you!
