Five manx and one with a tail!It was her first litter and she had a hard time with the very first one but she didn't have as hard of a time with most of the others.She would get up and push and want to press the wall though so with each birth i'd set the others just enough out of the way and hold the baby till the afterbirth came out.I had to finally just cut the cord on two of them.Both she and I were SO nervous but all are doing well and she is being a good mom.THANKGOODNESS!One dark calico or tortisshell manx,one all black manx,two true grey and white striped manx,one Tony the tiger orange and white striped manx,and a mostly true grey calico or tortisshell with a tail.I'm SO happy all turned out well!I'm so excited I just had to share.Pics will come soon :D !Your friend,Moniece

What color are the parents....daddy has to be a red factor...ie..cream or red if momma is black or blue..

Your red is a male unless momma is a cream or red..

K,I wasn't sure untill now that none of the little spots are white.Mom is pretty protective so I had not picked them up and looked at them in the light.Mom is part wildcat and is blue with cream but also a tad of white behind he front legs underneath and with orange and white stripes on part of each back leg.So different colors on her.The dad is a black and white with a tail.The pictures are terrible,sorry.Your friend,Moniece

So mom is a blue patched tabby (blue cream with tabby markings) the "white" you see is the lighter cream from the tabby markings...

Your two colored babies are your females your solids like your red or creams are boys...

Yep horrible pictures..take them from farther away....cute

Oh on the blues and solids you can tell if they will be tabbys because the inside of the ears will have "lacing" in a lighter color..
