Actually, the male cat doesn't have to be black. Orange/Black color genes are located on the X sex chromosome, your female is probably Xb/Xb. The offspring is mostly black, so your female is heterozygous for striped fur. The male is either heterozygous or homozygous for the striped gene as well.

So if that kitten is a male, it could get the Xb from the mother and the Y from the father, so the father's color could be anything, it could even be albino.

Unless that kitten is female, then the father is Xb/Y

So is the black allele recessive then? If that's the case, neither parent has to be black. It's enough that he gets one X chromosome carrying the black allele from her mother.
