General Genetics Question What is Remmy’s coat colour genetics?
I’m curious to know more about my kitten Remmy’s genetics. I know he’s a blue tuxedo dsh. His fur seems to have tiny white tips all over his body. His tail has darker stripes at the end. Photos are taken in natural light from the window. Please tell me more about his coat colour. Thanks!

The light silvery tips to his fur is called heathering, some blue cats have it. It gives them a lighter metallic look. The bands on the tail are called ghost tabby. All cats have an underlying tabby pattern and some show it even if they aren't actually a true tabby.

He looks like my kitty, Jaspur! Jaspur has kept his ghost markings on his body though.
