Cat coat genetics

A tabby mother and her kittens, showing different colorations (the red parts of the mother are not visible, but since she has both black and red kittens she must carry both of the colours)[citation needed]

Cat coat genetics determine the coloration, pattern, length, and texture of feline fur. The variations among cat coats are physical properties and should not be confused with cat breeds. A cat may display the coat of a certain breed without actually being that breed. For example, a Neva Masquerade (Siberian colorpoint) could wear point coloration, the stereotypical coat of a Siamese.
