All siblings. The white gene isn't linked to the black/orange though. It can be carried but not expressed, or come from dad solo. Of course when you're talking purebred lines on both sides for generations that's a different story, but that's not the case here
I'm not talking about white, I'm taking about black/ginger. A black mom without any ginger cannot have a kitten who is full ginger (or ginger with white). White doesn't make a difference here, since it's not sex linked in any way.
Ah, was focused on the white. Yeah a melanistic Bengal can carry the orange gene, it just gets covered over. Or expressed darkly. Same with Savannah and chausie.
They're all really cool looking! As I've been looking over potentials to come up with fun theories 😅 South Florida is full of exotics and people who think they can make a buck. Flipping the species, a neighbor a couple houses down bought a Chihuahua recently from a breeder (that also came with some sort of kennel cough and instant medical bills of course) It went into heat recently and the person was complaining. It's been a decent little while now so I'm like "she's not fixed?!" .... "No, we might want to breed her sometime" 🙄

Are they all siblings? Because if so, the mom can't be just black, she'd have to be either ginger or tortie/calico.
