The crossing tables are built in squares for each colour. The rows and columns responsible for a pattern (bicolour, tabby, etc.) are underlaid with grey colour.

Example

In this example the square, which is concerned, is circled with blue colour.

Example 1

You cross a chocolate bicolour male with a black female.

For the colour of the male mark all the cells down the column "Bicolour chocolate".
For the colour of the female mark all the cells along the row "Black".
Then look at the whole square (circled with red colour), in which these two colours meet each other, here you will find the result of this crossing.

Example 2

You cross a blue male with a chocolate tabby female.

For the colour of the male mark all the cells down the column "Blue".
For the colour of the female mark all the cells along the row "Chocolate tabby".
Then look at the whole square (circled with red colour), in which these two colours meet each other, here you will find the result of this crossing.

Example 3

You cross a lilac male with a blue female.

For the colour of the male mark all the cells down the column "Lilac".
For the colour of the female mark all the cells along the row "Blue".
Then look at the whole square (circled with red colour) in which these two colours meet each other, here you will find the result of this crossing.

1) You may get Chocolate/Lilac [tortie [tabby]] only if the other parent also carries at least one chocolate gene.
2) You may get Cinnamon/Fawn [tortie [tabby]] only if the other parent also carries at least one cinnamon gene.
