Hello Cali kid,
If you decide to breed Khao Manee, I suggest you try to find "mates" that have nice straight tails if you can. The kink tail gene is dominant, as is the white gene, so if the black cat that mated with your white female has a nice straight tail, then the chances are that 1/2 of the kittens will be white and also that 1/2 of the kittens will have tail kinks. We do not usually breed blue-eyed white cats to other blue-eyed white cats, primarily to avoid deafness. We think that breeding a yellow-eyed white cat to a blue-eyed white cat is more likely to result in odd-eyed white cats than breeding two yellow-eyed white cats together.
