@Birdy Two brother cats are black and white and gray and white!

 

@Birdy

Grey tabby and white?

 

The lighting is kinda weird, but I'd say blue (gray) mackerel tabby and white, yes! It's interesting how her upper back and head seem darker than the rest of her body. Do these areas look black or are the tabby stripes visible?

Toms (boy cats) are always the same color as their mom! If the mom is tortoiseshell, her sons have a 50/50 chance of being red or black, ignoring the father's color. Blue (gray) is dilute black. Since both your boys are black, I'm gonna guess the mom was black or blue.

The allele for dilution (which makes black cats blue and red cats cream) is recessive. So either both the parents were black and carrying the allele for blue (Dd) or one was blue (dd) and one was black carrying blue (Dd). (The dad could have also been red or cream! If you had a sister I'd be able to tell you for sure.)

Both the parents had some amount of white spotting, and both were solid and not tabby, since tabby is dominant to solid. (As with dilution they could have both been tabby carrying solid, or one solid and one tabby carrier, but I'm trying to keep this simple!!!)

TL;DR Mom was probably black and white or gray and white, and dad could've been white with any other color!

 

I wish I knew a sister's coloration, but they were the last two from the litter after all the others were adopted. That's so cool.

 

Her head is just wonky lighting in the picture there (she had her back to the light), but yeah, she kinda loses her markings around the upper back-- more a solid, darker grey.

 

That's unusual! A lot of mackerel tabbies look solid near their spines but it's usually a continuous stripe along the back. Tabbying can act in some very strange ways, though, so it's probably not anything too special. If she just had a patch of solid black, that would be a genetic impossibility, unless she was a chimera...

 

Ty is a tabby with white and his black fades into a solid looking patch on his head, then loosens up again and becomes a back stripe.

 

She definitely has the spine stripe, it just kinda sprawls out and goes splotchy behind her shoulders!

...she and the faded tortie share a mother (brown macktab and white) but are from unknown dads and different litters, so Who Knows what's even going on there
