    This is seriously the most adorable cat I have ever seen!

    Just curious because I’m only half-remembering how it’s determined - Would a clone of the kitten have the same colorations?

      No. The tiny little gonads will be either gray or orange. The gonads may still be a mixture, but each individual cell will be one or the other. So the gamete produced by that cell will have the same DNA of just that cell even though the organ is a mixture.
