huge fan of your blog! i figured i'd ask about brindle, since i haven't seen a lot of cats like her.

a black mackerel tortoiseshell tabby (torbie) with low white spotting :D

[randomcatgen]

Whitesong is a small medicine cat with shaggy, brindled torbie fur. She is 31 moons old. She has wide, heterochromatic pale green and golden-brown eyes and a soft jaw. She is happy and organized, but evasive. She feels cast out of the clan. Bugs seem to be attracted to her. She often has beetles in her fur!

more faralex babies!!! Lightkit's pelt is so confusing 😭 she's a lilac/grey torbie with the brindle tortie pattern and it makes it so hard to parse what's happening. Streakkit is the perfect calico she's so cute 🥺 and Dapple has a lil shirt on lol

catch up here

I was also wondering, is it easier to do this here or on the forums?

It's actually a lot easier to do it here! Not only do I have a constant reminder of how many people are waiting for cats, I typically do the forum ones in batches (which leaves me creatively exhausted after three or so) while these I can do one by one when I have the energy to do so! Also the tag system and archive makes it so, so much easier for me to add names to my datasheet (a little reference doc I use to make sure I'm not repeating names or overusing personality traits). These are truly as unique as I can make them while still being good characters.

07 - common

Mossyhaven (she/her) is a chocolate-and-red agouti torbie molly with copper eyes. Her fur is brindled with both ginger and brown laced together in rough patches. Tabby stripes only mark her points: her cheeks, tail-tip and paws have thin, slightly darker patterns. Mossyhaven is a short-furred cat with an oily pelt that shines and repels water. She has abnormally short whiskers.

Mossyhaven has a sigh for every occasion: contentment, annoyance, exasperation. You name it, she has a sigh crafted specifically to communicate it. She's not as impatient as she appears to be--most of her eye rolls and sighs are in good humor. She catches feelings quickly and is charmed by playful or daydreamer personalities. Mossyhaven is a tattletale and will report cats breaking the Code, particularly if she thinks it's endangering themselves or her Clan.

I have two lovely kittys and there sisters and look very similar and was wondering if you could tell me anything about them?

The first two are my first kitty Cookie. The other two is her sister Carmel.

Carmel has some strange orangey spots on her back and you can kinda see them in the third picture and was wondering what you would call that?

Cute! :O

I can't get a good enough look at Cookie to say for sure (lighting is my nemesis when it comes to cat identificaiton) but they look like a mackerel brown tabby :3

Caramel is a tabico! which is a portmanteau of calico and torbie. which is a portmanteau of tortoiseshell and tabby. so a tabby calico lol.

Definitely mackerel, low white. Caramel doesn't seem to have any white on them; that "white" around the face isn't true leucism, just rufousing.

Those orange spots are called tortie marks, or "brindling"/"patches" depending on the size/how defined they are :3

i can absolutely understand the want to simplify her genes for a fic however i do not agree that there is any chance at all really of her being a tortoiseshell. the cryptic torties and such in the article linked tend to be very low-white as this makes the tortoiseshell much more brindled, and as you can see, this isn't the case for jellie - were she to posess the red gene she would almost certainly have far larger red patches.

cats also cannot carry red: when a cat has a red or black gene it is visible, with very very few exceptions. even if this were the case we are discussing phenotype here and it is impossible to determine if a cat is 'carrying' red without said cat having kittens or a gene test.

neither is she dilute. i am not entirely sure what you meant in the original by saying her red patches were 'diluted to cream', but it is not possible to have both dilute and undiluted coat colours on the same cat unless the cat is a chimera - she can't be a black tabby (which we are absolutely certain she is, since she has black stripes) with cream patches, as one of these is dilute and the other is not. i also understand that sometimes reds are washed out when the inhibitor (silver) gene is present, but jellie's patches are not the same washed-out pale creamy colour one would expect to see on such a cat, and are instead far darker and browner, which is expected with the tarnishing effect.

the other thing is the fact that her brown patches are not limited to her stripes. though it's true that red is not always presented on silver torbies in the perfect stripe-only way i implied, once again jellie's brown tones do not fit the colour that would be expected of this.

you can see in this photo that this patch is neither limited to her stripes nor the pale washed-out red that would be expected here when off a stripe. this is a patch of tarnish, as are her other brown hints on her belly and tail.

classification as a tortoiseshell is solely decided by presence of both eumelanin and pheomelanin genes on two X chromosomes - having tarnish does not make jellie a tortie, and i don't believe there's any chance that these are in fact genetically red patches. this article has more examples of tarnishing and there are many many cats, both male and female, that have tarnish patterns similar to jellie's, but this doesn't make them tortoiseshells either.

i apologise if this has come across as a bit short, i didn't mean it that way at all! i adore cat genetics and have done for a long time so mostly i jumped at the chance to talk about them haha

Good evening I’m fucking losing my mind over Jellie’s coat color and genetics what do you fucking mean she has red patches I’ve never noticed that have been diluted to cream and that means she’s a tortoiseshell

Look!!! Look at that!!!!! That is red and if you look closer you can see it behind her legs and dispersed throughout her coat. TRICKY LITTLE GIRL!!!!

I’ve been thinking this whole time she’s a black silver classic tabby but NO she’s a black tortoiseshell silver classic tabby with white.

girl your genes need to CALM DOWN

Anyways I think that Scar has all the rights to make an entire theme park based off of her or something because she’s so pretty and cool.

And the reason I did all this research is because I’m making a fic where she has kittens that are called the Jamlets and I just need you guys to know how much work I’m putting into it and also that her kittens are adorable. Thank you that’s all.

Goldendream is a stocky warrior with thin, brindled torbie fur. He is 99 moons old. He has heavy, lilac eyes and a soft jaw. He is patient and mature, but mischevious. He has a lot of friends, but he doesn't feel really close to any of them.

Just opened a @sprite. Nunny Face is sitting next to me and she jumped all defensively. At first I was like “What’s wrong…. Oh!” Cause I realized my drink just told her “HEY! F*CK YOU!!” 🤣 #Cat #Kitten #Kitty #Torrtie #Torite #Calico #TortoiseShell #Tortitude #Tortoise #Shell #Torties #Torbie #Tortie #Caliby #Brindle #Tricolor #Reversed #ReversedCalico #ManekiNeko #MoneyCat https://www.instagram.com/p/CTsEGShlYTW/?utm_medium=tumblr

I think you might just have a black torbie! Without any white markings, sometimes torbies can be pretty good at hiding the red brindling since it's less obvious on a patterned coat than it is on solid black

No one:

My gray tabby having fucking calico paws for the fun of it:

No seriously what is up with that?? I have no clue who her parents are but like, I am so curious why are her paws like that???
