how about dovewing and ivypool!
Tumblr media
Silver sisters...
Ivypool's description is silver-and-white tabby, so she will be black silver tabby bicolor. (Heterozygous for white, but then again Brightheart, the one who passed the ws allele to her through Whitewing historically has lots of white, and she's a heterozygote too. So bicolor is good. Consistent. And then I can make Frostfur a heterozygous blue tabby point bicolor with good consciense, and... that's where the fun ends, because i have to give either Robinwing or Fuzzypelt a high-ish white spotting, and neither has any canon white. At the moment I lean toward tuxedo Fuzzypelt rather than calico Robinwing, because she has the iconic orange breast, and that'd disappear with the white.)
Back to Ivypool. I made her mackerel, because ivy has long tendrils = mackerel stripes. Yeah.
Tumblr media
(A little less white in my head.)
Dovewing is "pale grey", which i translated into blue tortoiseshell silver spotted tabby. Solid, even smoke is too dark for me for this description, shaded is too fancy, and don't blame me for the tortie part, I heard they gave her a red son recently!
It works tho, because Whitewing is already a tortie under the white (must be, she has a red mother and a black daughter), and the cream patches are easy to overlook on tabbies.
Tumblr media
(I think this cat is just a blue silver, not a tortie, but imagine some cream on it.)
(I headcanon her aunt, Ambermoon with the same color, which is a little funny. But in my head Ambermoon has a big cream patch on her face, so they don't look much alike.)
For now their shared silver allele comes from the Whitewing-Cloudtail-Cloudtail's-father line, all of whom are dominant whites, so it's not visible until Dovewing and Ivypool borns. However i'm not opposed to the Whitewing-Brightheart-Lionheart-Speckletail idea either.
Edit: i made Birchfall silver too 😸 Ivypool is homozygous silver now

Kuro and Madara both seem like maine coons but Madara(and also Leo ) also give me calico vibes. Kuro also fits the norwegian forest cat.
Himeru is one of those freaky ass lanky oriental cats or a russian blue
Adonis is an egyptian mau or a siamese, Kaoru is an orange, Rei is a regular black cat but with weirdly shiny fur and Kouga is a cat who was raised by pitbulls and will not accept the reality that he’s not a pitbull
Keito is a regular european/domestic shorthair but with a weirdly green tint to it
I would say Mika is a khao manee due to the eyes but he is big eyed dark brown colored LaPerm( the specific image I have in mind is one of the pictures in The Cat Encyclopedia and I’m not even sure if it’s for that breed)
Tori is a munchkin
OK OKOK SO i actually already have breed hcs for everyone bc im so autistic abt cats i was gonna wait to talk abt them as i made the cat designs but progress is going really slow on those and now that someone is talking to me about it i cant make myself shut up . i agree with a lot of these !!! im just gonna go ahead and list all of my hcs though bc im insane (these are my somewhat realistic color hcs for what they would be if i didnt choose to make them all candy colored when i draw them lol)
(disclaimer: this is on appearance alone, not all these breeds and mutations are ethical, not all these colors actually appear in the breed stated or are combinations that dont exist, and some of these colors/breeds are extinct)
gonna put this under a readmore cuz its ...... a lot (i woulda added pics too but theres definitely way more than 10 cats here)

kaoru - turkish van, medium longhair, red chinchilla tabby/white
adonis - arabian mau, but with toyger coloration
koga - lykoi, dark gray/black roan, thinks hes a wolf due to being raised with dogs and the lykoi being known as the "werewolf cat"

Please tell me about the genetically accurate warrior cats head cannons :3
Hell yeah.
You gave me a wildcard warriors ask without any character request, which means i can choose, so i'll go excessive and present you: my color headcanons for the entire Sun Trail travelling group!
I tried to stay as close to their canon description as i could, and at the same time make everyone unique.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Our protagonists: Gray Wing, Clear Sky and Jagged Peak; blue, blue ticked tabby and blue blotched tabby. (Their mother Quiet Rain is a blue spotted tabby for me. Very blue family.)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The girlies: Bright Stream (black mackerel tabby bicolor) and Turtle Tail (black tortoiseshell blotched tabby bicolor; she's heterozygous for white spotting)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Black leadership: Shaded Moss, Tall Shadow, Moon Shadow - obviously the latter two has the same color, but i'm sure we could make them unique enough with different body shapes and eye colors.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Medicine gang: Dappled Pelt - black tortoiseshell (she has white spotting only on illustrations, never is the text*, and i wanted a tortie without white in the cast), Cloud Spots - black with white (white ears are unusual but not impossible, can be added)
*well, except for one time in Moth Flight's Vision, where she supposed to have "Orange-and-white fur". I declared that one a mistake. Even the alligances call her tortoiseshell, never tortoiseshell-and-white)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Background warriors with awesome names: Rainswept Flower (black spotted tabby), Quick Water (blue mackerel tabby with white), Shattered Ice (blue tabby harlequin)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Youngsters: Falling Feather (white), Jackdaw's Cry (black, which is unfortunate, but i'd give him a blue eyes mutation which would put some white on his muzzle), Hawk Swoop (red mackerel tabby; i could keep her kits more canon-compliant if i'd make her a tortie, but she's the only red cat in the group and I want to have one).
Bonus:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Bumble (black tortie tabby with white - i purposefully made her echo Turtle Tail's colors) and Storm (she gets a fun color because this way Thunder can inherit every allele he needs: black tortoiseshell silver blotched tabby with with white).

Hello! I know this kitten is a tortoiseshell tabby with white spotting, but I was wondering if she could be silver as well. I ask because her tail seems to have no rufousing but her shoulders don’t look as silver and I am thrown off a bit by her orange as well. What do you think?
Black mackerel tortoiseshell tabby bicolor
I understand where you're coming from with the silver, but she looks to just be low-rufousing. Silver tends to really wash out red, so you wouldn't get that nice bright orange background. Tails tend to have less rufousing in general.

seal point drusilla is extremely real omg now i wanna make my own buffy cat designs <- guy who has yet to post their torchwood cats
okay i'm gonna bounce ideas off you. i like the blotched on your buffy so i'm thinking cream blotched for her and maybe cream smoke for spike?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
red willow. for obvious reasons. i'm thinking solid, maybe also with a blotched pattern, probably with white. xander.... black tabby? bicolor? yeah i think that works. mackerel, probably
Tumblr media Tumblr media
dru is a seal point, like you said. angel could be black bicolor or black blotched tabby with white, or possibly even blue tabby? i couls also make him silver. hmm
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
anya would also be cream, i think i'd go mackerel for her. giles is probably a black tabby with white, but i need to think on the pattern. another blotched? maybe.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
all these cats and not a single tortoiseshell.... maybe i'll make dawn a tortie. blue tortoiseshell dawn sounds like fun. that means joyce also has to be a tortie. but i'm not allowed to put any more pictures in here. sad. anyway i'll stop annoying you now <3
(btw i'm ignoring all breeds in the pictures they're just for the colours)
These are all so real. I actually did have a lighter design for Spike that I used for a while, but I changed it because it wasn't vibing quite right with me. I went darker with him because I wanted to incorporate the fact that he's big evil dark vampire ooo, and also the fact that he's got naturally darker hair and shouldn't have gotten his hands on the bleach.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I also thought about making Willow an orange cat, but I decided on tortie because a) I haven't done many tortie designs and I love, and b) I wanted to incorporate a bit of black cat into her, since she's a witch.
I didn't mention it last time but I was also thinking some variation of a tabby design for Cordelia too, but still gotta think about that.

Hello! :) I've been wanting to use polygenes in my cat's genos, but I have no idea how haha. Do you have any idea how I could represent, for example, the polygenes that control spotted tabby? I have a decent idea of how polygenes themselves work, but not really how to represent them. Could a simplified version that just has more sp genes (so, SpSpspsp instead of just Spsp, for example) work, or would that be inaccurate or not work at all for some/all polygenes? Tysm in advance! <3
Hi!
I actually have a polygenic version of my kitten generator to tidy up and release soon, in the meantime I can give you the overview of what I'm currently using.
While it would be accurate to actually list out multiple loci, it is also kind of tedious. So I just pick a symbol, and pair it with a number. You can make the maximum number as big as you want depending on how granular you want to be, but currently I'm using 1-10 for wide band and 1-6 for everything else.
The ones in the calculator are:
Pigment (Pig): 1 (light) - 6 (dark). Determines the overall density of pigment which affects the color of solids and stripes on tabbies.
Rufousing (Ruf): 1 (cool) - 6 (warm). Determines density of red pigment, which affects redness of red-based tabbies, warm undertones on black-based tabbies, and tarnishing on silvers.
Wide Band (Wb): 1 (very low) - 10 (tipped). 1-6 covers the nongolden range, after that 7 is golden/very light silver, 8 is shaded, 9 is tipped, and 10 is the extreme phenotype such as copper.
Spotted (Sp): 1 (full mackerel) - 6 (full spotted). Middle is varying degrees of broken/loosely spotted.
Ticked Modifier (Tm): 1 (standard ticked) - 6 (agouti tabby). Can also be represented nicely as incomplete dominant if polygenes are too much of a pain.
Bengal Modifier (Bm): 1 (standard pattern) - 6 (bengal pattern). Same deal as Tm.
White Modifier (Wm): 1 (low degree) - 6 (high degree). Determines more precisely the amount of white spotting in addition to the actual white gene. For example, a Wsw Wm1 cat would have very little visible white, a WsWs Wm1 cat would be a bicolor.
Eye Pigmentation (P) and Eye Refraction (R) are also 1-6 and follow my convoluted rules for eye color modeling.

hey! i really adore your art and just wanna ask what kind of cat breed you imagine thunderclan or skyclan as? you've said before that you imagine shadowclan as cobby cats :0
oh man I used to have this really old guide I made describing my ideal breeds/types for each clan but I think it was on my old blog ;o;
so let’s do this again cause im bored lol 
SO as much as the Erins like to push the “cats can’t have kits w/ a cat outside their clan”, that doesn’t really work irl due to years of inbreeding. Old forest queens typically kept the father a secret unless the two are a bonded/mated pair who have multiple litters. Queens will sometimes seek mates in loners/rogues, or cross-clan breeding. River/Wind and Shadow/Sky are not uncommon, but Thunder is extremely traditional and view cross-breeding as an extreme sin (esp with a rival clan) 
Thunderclan - largest cats in size, classic & mackerel tabbies, black tabbies & torbies, solid colors are a bit uncommon, typically long-haired, rare traits are white/silver/smoke/fawn/lilac/cream/cinnamon/ticked tabbies, least likely to bring in outside blood due to traditionalist views (pre-Firestar), low birthrate & small litters due to inbreeding
Breed Ideals: Maine Coon, Norwegian Forest, Nebelung 
(Maine Coon black classic tabby) 
Tumblr media
Riverclan - 2nd biggest cats in size, classic & broken mackerel & spotted tabbies, can include any color but black or blue silver is most common, white is extremely common, typically long or medium furred, short tails are a unique trait, not uncommon to breed with passing loners at the farm (so long as a Kit doesn’t have split allegiances between clans they don’t really care - same with Wind/Shadow) 
Breed Ideals - Turkish Angora, Cymric, Turkish Van, Cashmere Bengal 
(Turkish Angora black silver mackerel tabby bicolor) 
Tumblr media
SkyClan (old forest) - typically medium or long furred, powerful & muscular legs, mackerel & spotted & ticked tabbies, white/chocolate/cinnamon/red not uncommon, silver is rare, curled ear mutation is common due to inbreeding (similar to Thunder) 
Breed Ideals - Norwegian Forest, Somali, American Curl, Siberian  
(Norwegian Forest black calico)
Tumblr media
Windclan - cats can be tall/large but are usually very skinny & lean compared to other clans, various colors/patterns due to outbreeding with loners/rogues to keep bloodlines healthy, short-furred typically, ticked & spotted tabbies are most common but solid & pointed cats are common as well, large ears & long legs to help them hunt in tall grass
Breed Ideals - Oriental, Egyptian Mau, Ocicat, Havana Brown, Serengeti 
(Oriental Shorthair chocolate spotted tabby bicolor)
Tumblr media
Shadowclan - small but stocky, typically dark colors & solids to help them blend in at night, large round eyes, curled/permed hair mutation is not uncommon, typically classic tabbies, white/fawn/lilac/cream are rare 
Breed Ideals - Siberian, Selkirk Rex, Burmese, British Short/Longhair 
(British Longhair black smoke)

Ivypool’s Direct Family
So this is just a collection of my genetic headcanons for Ivypool’s direct family, complete with stock photos + notes which may be added to at any time. 
Birchfall- black silver spotted tabby
Tumblr media
Birchfall is the child of Dustpelt, a black mackerel tabby, and Ferncloud, a blue silver spotted tabby.  Birchfall is described as a pale gray tabby like mom early on, but that gets changed to light brown later in tnp.  This is 1) stupid, and 2) not as cool, so I’m reverting him back to looking like Ferncloud.  Also, like... birch trees are silver.  And he has a silver daughter.  This makes WAY more sense.  Birchfall carries dilute, non-silver, solid, and long hair.
Whitewing- long-haired dilute mackerel tabby tortoiseshell bicolor (epistatic white)
Tumblr media
Whitewing is the child of Brightheart, a red classic tabby bicolor who carries dilute, and Cloudtail, a black mackerel tabby covered by epistatic white who carries dilute and solid.  Epistatic white is a dominant trait that “covers” whatever color is underneath, and it’s inherited separately from white spotting, so technically a cat like Whitewing can be both epistatic white AND have white spotting over top whatever colors they ACTUALLY are genetically.  Whitewing carries non-epistatic white and solid.
Dovewing- long-haired solid blue smoke
Tumblr media
Dovewing inherits the dominant silver gene from Birchfall, which in a solid-colored cat is expressed as smoke and allows her to be a pale gray color.  She carries non-silver.
Ivypool- black silver mackerel tabby bicolor
Tumblr media
Ivypool also inherits the dominant silver gene from Birchfall, as well as Whitewing’s mackerel tabby pattern and white spotting.  She carries long hair, non-silver, solid, and dilute.
Fernsong- long-haired cream classic tabby
Tumblr media
In my personal canon, Fernsong is a descendant of the Sisters who is orphaned and joins ThunderClan sometime after the end of Bramblestar’s Storm.  He’s around the age of Lionblaze and Cinderheart’s kits, so he’s taken in by the pair and grows to consider them his parents, since he remembers very little of his own heritage (aka literally has no idea he’s related to the Sisters).  He doesn’t inherit any of the Sisters’ abilities, and his large size and long fur make him look a lot like Lionblaze, so he doesn’t exactly have a hard time fitting in.  I’m keeping the age gap between him and Ivypool because I LOVE the idea of this goofy enormous apprentice having the cutest crush on the tiny vicious warrior lady who doesn’t know he exists.  They probably don’t even talk for the first time until Fernsong is a warrior, and even then it takes a long time for them to get together. 
Bristlefrost- long-haired dilute tortoiseshell smoke bicolor
Tumblr media
Bristlefrost looks like a LOT like a spiky Dovewing.  I love this photo so much, it’s basically exactly how I imagine her.  She inherits silver from Ivypool, white spotting from Ivypool, and solid from both parents.  Bristlefrost carries non-silver.
Thriftear- dilute tortoiseshell
Tumblr media
Thriftear is probably a bit darker than this depicted in this photo, so she looks quite a bit darker than Bristlefrost.  She carries long hair.
Flipclaw- long-haired black classic tabby bicolor
Tumblr media
Flipclaw looks a lot like cousin Lightleap.  He carries solid and dilute.
