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.
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?

Hold on, so this cat is an actual chimera?

It looks that way. From a pretty early stage I would guess. Like 4 or 8 cells or something?
