Is it ok, for Kittens to have white or cream tongues?

My friend's cat just gave birth to 5 kittens, they have begun to walk a little. They are maybe 3 weeks old. They have white/cream tongues, does that mean there is something wrong? Shouldn't they have light pink tongues?Is it ok, for Kittens to have white or cream tongues?
probably milk from the mama on their tongues.Is it ok, for Kittens to have white or cream tongues?
I honestly dont know but my experience working in a lab tells me something isnt right, could the mother be lacking in nutrition? what color are the kittens tho, if they are of light skin and coat color...... ? that one has me confused
maybe the babies have mommy's milk on there tongues. that could account for the creamy tongues.they could also be just lite ,lite pink so lite that they appear cream.
All cats are basically tabbies and will show some ghost markings in solid color cats, especially as a kitten.





Tongues are normally pink (may have some black markings in calicos or torties). But white or cream is not normal. The kittens could be anemic. If the gums are very pale pink or white its anemic.
