I finally (after 5 attempts in 6 months) have managed to register Nova with the AKC without being interrupted and having the form time out - and I can't even apply for her trick titles with the Canine Partners number they just gave me!?
To some extent, I would understand if she were purebred, but do you really think I'm going to fake a 100% "All American Dog"??? (I don't even like that name...)
Come on, they would let me apply for the trick titles if I applied for the CP number with them :( My motivation is limited and your website is aversive. Just let me do everything at once
Anyway, hopefully she'll officially have her CGC in the next however many business days

hello!! i just found your blog and am absolutely fascinated with cat genetics! i was hoping you might be able to answer a question i have (maybe its for a warrior cats OC who could say....)
is it possible for a cat with a calico type coat pattern to not have any orange patches? like is there a type of cat that exists where instead of the orange its blue/grey so the cat is basically a monotone "calico" (white, grey, black) ?
you have a really amazing blog!! definitely know what i'm scrolling thru for the next few hours :D
Wow, i'm happy to hear it 😸 And warrior cat OCs are more than welcome here...
If I understand correctly, you're asking if it's possible to have a tricolor cat without orange, yeah?
There are of course tabbies, where the agouti background is differently colored than the pattern itself, which can look very patchy on a high-white cat, especially with blotched tabbies:
Tumblr media
However this might not be what you're looking for.
Normally a "monocrome calico" isn't possible - torties (including calicos) all have a black-based (black, blue, chocolate, amber ect) and an red-based color (red, cream ect). The dilution level of the different colors have to be the same: you can't mix black (dense) and blue (diluted).
But now to the good news: there are chimeras! A chimera happens when two embryos fuse in the womb. If they have different phenotypes, the resulting cat will look like a patchwork of these colorations. So chimeras can absolutely mix any colors, go wild.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
source, source
(I can't guarantee that these cats above are true chimeras. There could be gene malfunctions and somatic mutations at play, but the main point of this to show that such effect is possible, so i think it doesn't really matter now.)

vincedakota replied to your post “i am excellent and naming animals and you should ask me what your...”
i cant send asks and this is completely unrelated but if you want to crunch an hour or two. whats your opinion of Every Arba Breed
you asked for it get ready for some Unpopular Onions
american: have doofy faces but i like em a lot.  tried to get into whites several years ago but breeders kept ghosting me :(  not as rare as ppl think but nobody likes whites it’s only blues at shows.
american chinchilla:  bruh why do we have like three whole chinchilla breeds i don’t like chins that much in general why do we need three whole breeds of just chinchilla
american fuzzy lop:  all the worst parts of lionheads and holland lops in one little package
american sable:  never seen one in real life but i want to touch
argente brun:  don’t understand why the argentes aren’t more popular, look at ‘em.  they’re cool as heck.  give me one.
belgian hare:  do you love suffering?  get a hare
beveren:  i think they’re ugly sorry.  suddenly got rly popular and idk why.  remind me of basset hounds but with blue eyes.
blanc de hotot:  absolute showstoppers.  the supermodel of rabbits.  why can’t i have any someone please give me a hotot i will pay lots of money
britannia petite:  genuinely make me uncomfortable to look at.  the big eyes and tiny body...they are gremlins and i do not like them
californian:  boring but a good meat rabbit.  what can i say they have a niche and are good at it
cavies:  are not rabbits and make bad noises
champagne d’argent:  the only breed i ever seen enter fur shows here lol.  i wanna work with them to make silvery every other breed :)
checkered giant:  Big Angery.  only breed i’ve consistently been told not to ask to pet.
cinnamon:  really cool lookin rabbits but every feral in issaquah looks just like ‘em so either a cin breeder had an oopsie or they aren’t that rare
creme d’argent:  i’ve only seen ONE irl and it was like buttered toast.  i love them.  someone please breed them.
dutch:  the only rabbit allowed to be visibly VM (hotots are vm too but you can’t really tell.)  really cute little meat bricks.  the holstein of rabbits, in that when i think of a generic rabbit i think of a dutch.
dwarf hotot:  more popular than their commercial sized cousins and honestly it’s a RIGHT SHAME.
english angora:  that is a mop.  apparently betty chu is driving people out of the breed cos hers are all too good :’)  the one we have is bonkers and i don’t like him.
english lop:  hardly should be able to call themselves lops.  sure they got big ears (which i don’t like) but to me a lop should have a brick face and they don’t and it makes me sad.
english spot:  suuuper attractive animals, esp the goldens.  if i hated myself enough to get into a running breed i would go for english i think.
flemish giant:  BIG.  FRICKIN.  EARS.  my husband’s fav breed.  he likes the red ones.  i have three growing out in my yard rn and they’re so cute.
florida white:  for some reason they are becoming really popular with homesteaders?  but i have never seen one in real life.  really just kind of boring but apparently good for meats.
french angora:  i don’t like anything i have to groom
french lop:  BIG.  FLOPPY.  EARS.  BIG.  POTATO.  FACE.  truly the epitome of a lop.  can’t wait til i get mine.
giant angora:  ah yes let’s make MORE wool to groom no thanks
giant chinchilla:  this is a chin just Big.  boring, next
harlequin:  fan favourite of my fur clients.  if you hate yourself, show these.  ofc i’m a sucker for calico things so i have a bunch but do you see me putting them on a show table?  no.
havana:  very good little dudes.  husband likes the black ones.  i can only justify one or two itty bitty breeds so i don’t have any.
himalayan:  the stupidest looking animal i have ever laid eyes on and i love them so much.  they spark immense joy.  also very very sweet if my two are anything to go by.
holland lop:  oversaturated in both pet and show circles.  there’s just so many.  the holland rings take HOURS to get through at shows.  they are very cute but so far in general their personalities leave something to be desired.
jersey wooly:  i hear they’re little demons but other than that i don’t know much about em
lilac:  it’s a rabbit, but purple!  never seen one in person.
lionhead:  literally every byb pet rabbit is mixed with a lionhead.  my first rabbit was a lionhead and he’s evil so there’s that.
mini lop:  my first breeding rabbits were mini lops and they have a special place in my heart.  but i went with french over minis cos Big Chungus.
mini rex:  take a rex and make it small and able to produce peanuts.  5/10 not enough fur
mini satin:  i have only ever handled one and it was enough for me!  awful awful little creatures but very nice fur.
netherland dwarf:  disgOSTINgly cute but oversaturated and also dwarfs.  sorry.
new zealand:  yep that’s a rabbit
palomino:  it’s a rabbit but YELLOW.  apparently the breed joel salatin breeds but his are all vm-y and he THROWS AWAY THE FURS i hate it.  idk they’re cute i guess.
polish:  it’s small alright
rex:  supermodel of rabbits but wow is showing them the worst.  rex people think they’re better than everyone else and it’s very tiring.  so good for touching though.  pelts sell for good prices.
rhinelander:  very good 10/10 if they weren’t hard to find i’d consider them as well if i were gonna go for a runner
satin:  considered getting into them but decided not to.  the white ones look like they peed on themselves :(
satin angora: we have one and i have no complaints except that it makes wool
silver: someone apparently breeds them around here and it’s neat that chestnut is a colour they come in considering every other silver breed is like NO AGOUTI ONLY SELF
silver fox:  this is the rabbit literally every homesteader has now and i don’t get it.  they’re pretty and big but what a waste of good pelts by raising them for meat only.  anyway they only come in one official colour (with the three general self colours in COD) so i find them boring otherwise.  i can’t tell ours apart at all ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
silver martin:  never seen one in person but they’re pretty.  silver fox ppl hate them cos they “don’t even have a real silvering gene.  they’re just chinchilla otters.”
standard chinchilla:  WHY DO WE HAVE THREE OF THESE
tan:  smaller than anticipated, but very pretty.  why don’t more breeds have this colour.  what even IS this colour.  is it related to otter?  IS it otter just without white?  i’m intrigued
thrianta:  photos really do not do that colour justice.  kinda boring cos they only come in red but boy is it RED.
velveteen lop:  technically still in COD but my opinion is the same as english lop.  i don’t like their faces or the ears, sorry.

Our Skeleton 27
Just finished chapter 27 of Our Skeleton! You can find it under the cut below, or on Ao3 here:
https://archiveofourown.org/works/7563223/chapters/46057162
Toriel was calmly sitting in the living room with a knitting project on her lap when her cell-phone began vibrating. She fixed the knitting in such a way that it wouldn’t unravel on her, set it aside, and pulled her phone out of her pocket to answer it. She’d only just gotten it, so it took her awhile to remember how to answer it. By the time she did, the call had ended. Without hesitating Toriel called the number back. It rang for a moment, then was answered.
“Yeah? Who’s this?” Undyne’s gruff voice carried through the speaker.
“It is Toriel. I believe you have just tried to call me?”
“Oh. Yeah. Thanks for calling back. I forgot to tell you guys at the picnic the other day, but I found out the names of Pap’s parents. They’re probably Sans’, too. Do you want to hear?”
Toriel’s eyes sparkled. Finally! “Yes, Undyne. I wish nothing more than to learn their names.”
“Got it. Let me find that piece of paper...Oh! Here it is! Let’s see. Their names are Coursiva and T.N. Roman Revenant. Do those names ring a bell?”
Toriel was stunned. Revenant? She knew that name. Where did she know that name from? It felt vaguely familiar, as if it had been a long time since she had heard it. A very long time...Oh! She remembered.
-----
A grand ball was one of young Toriel’s favorite places to be. She loved the fancy clothes, the dancing, the people, the food - everything about a ball was exciting. This one was especially exciting because she got to wear her new dress. It was a flared ball gown in powder blue with a ruffled train and puffed sleeves. She loved it.
The other exciting thing about this ball was the number of monsters. Usually, when Toriel’s parents took her to attend a ball, it was being hosted by the human royalty they were stationed with. This time was different. This ball was a celebration of a peace treaty between one of the magic-hating human countries and the kingdom they were being ambassadors to. So there was another family of monsters Toriel could get to play with.
A human female in a stunning red dress swept aside and Toriel was finally able to see the other monsters. They were skeletons; three of them. The tallest of the three was a female skeleton. She had a beautiful yellow headdress that looked like a cross between a hijab and a beaded, braided head full of hair. There were hundreds of little beads cascading off the golden fabric. Orange, red, white - it was a tapestry of color and texture. Below the headdress was an orange mermaid dress with long sleeves and yellow ruffles.
The next tallest monster was an adult male skeleton. He was wearing a lovely caftan in browns and golds. It reminded Toriel of the jasper cat’s eye she had been given for her 200th birthday. She still had the stone in her jewelry box.
The final skeleton was a bit smaller. He looked to be the age of a child, maybe the equivalent of 13 or 14 human years old. His outfit was very similar to his father’s, only his was done up in greens and greys. Toriel thought it was an odd color combination. It looked more like a mossy rock than an outfit for celebrating in.
Toriel swept over to the trio. It wasn’t quite the full, elegant sweeping her mother could pull off, but it was still impressive. People made a path for her to move in. Before long she was there.
“Hello! I am Toriel Agouti, daughter of the ambassadors to Faiburr kingdom. Am I correct in assuming you are the ambassadors to Hefferse? It is a pleasure to meet you.”
The skeletons looked at her outstretched hand uncomfortably. Then the mother spoke.
“We are the Revenants. My name is Arial. My husband’s name is Merriweather, and my son’s name is T.N. Roman. I am sorry for our seeming lack of manners, but to shake hands was considered very rude in our last posting, and the habit sticks.”
Toriel quickly dropped her hand and curtseyed. “I am sorry, I had no intention to insult you. It is very rare for us to have other monsters to talk to. So few have the time to come to the capitol for a social visit. Please join me for refreshments. We have spider cider, rainbow pastries, symphony bonbons, and starlight cheesecakes.”
Once again the family of skeletons looked ill-at-ease. T.N. Roman was looking to his parents as if he were lost. Arial’s skull was painted with disgust, but it was Merriweather who spoke.
“Magic use is...not encouraged in Hefferse. A lot of the humans are afraid of it, and monsters have been arrested for using it. Most of the elite are more open-minded, but please don’t offer us magic food again. We have become used to hiding all magic. An influx of energy would throw us off balance.”
Toriel swallowed and curtseyed again. “I am truly sorry for any insult I might have caused. There are non-magical aperitifs as well. Let me show them to you.”
------
Toriel blinked as the memory left her, then smiled. So, that explained that little oddity. Learning to hide your magic at such a young age was a habit that would be hard to shake. It was not all that surprising that it might be passed down to the next generation, even if the reason it had been learned was no longer accurate.
“Um, hello? Toriel? Did you hear me?”
Toriel cleared her throat. “Yes, Undyne, I did hear you. I was simply remembering something from a long time ago. I do indeed remember the Revenant family. They were ambassadors to a neighboring country at the same time as my parents. I met them once. They were very stiff and inflexible, but there is something I remembered which explains one of the more confusing qualities of Papyrus and Sans.”
Undyne said gruffly, “Yeah? What is it?”
“You are aware of how the two of them hide their magic, are you not?” Toriel asked.
“Yeah. It’s so fricking weird how Pap will just go blank right after a spell. I can’t read him at all, and Sans is even worse.”
Toriel grinned. “Well, the country that the Revenants were stationed in hated magic. Having it out in the open was dangerous. The whole family had to learn to hide their magic. T.N. Roman was younger than me...maybe the equivalent of a twelve year old?”
Undyne said roughly, “You think he would have passed that on to his kids? It sort of makes sense. Kids don’t always get the circumstances that make something necessary. I can see him keeping up that habit. And it would explain why the bone brothers act the way they do...yeah. Do you mind if I share this with Alphys? She’s right here.”
Toriel blinked. “Of course you can tell your partner. I will be telling Asgore...and perhaps eventually Sans. I want to learn more about his childhood first. I do not want to have any surprises. You can stop yourself from telling Papyrus, can you not?”
“Yeah, I can do that. The way they act...his parents had to have hurt him. Emotionally, physically, I don’t care. I don’t want to see him get shredded into little smiling pieces.”
“Of course,” Toriel smiled. “And I look forward to seeing you at Papyrus’ birthday party.”
“Yeah!” Undyne cheered, “It’s gonna be at the big game sanctuary. They’ve got lions and tigers and bears-”
“Oh my!” Toriel couldn’t resist saying it. It had been set up so nicely, she just had to!
“Ugh, fine. I guess I have to let you have that one. Just...try not to ruin Papyrus’ birthday party with your jokes? Too many of them really get on his nerves.”
“I will,” Toriel promised. “I look forward to seeing you then!”
“Bye,” Undyne said shortly before she hung up. Toriel stared at the phone in shock for a minute. Then she sighed and returned it to her inventory.
Now on to serious matters...what was she going to get Papyrus for his birthday?

Siamese cats are permanent parasites and diseases, and it will not only that you should also be responsible for the cat to absorb.What's worse, as you see something outside which they will be looking for a cat misbehaves and does he know it?If these changes can be considered if there is nothing on your cat to associate his/her needs with the times your litter box a few things she would like to investigate this, they may associate the litter tray or the box located?It is these that cause kidney malfunction - antibiotics, anti-parasitics, anaesthetics and many feline dental problems sometimes exhibit this behavior for the litter box.Always use soft brushes and rub it for something to dissuade them from touching certain things that might still be resilient for up to the veterinarian to check your cat's claws and cover up the smell.
Prominent objects, objects close to feral cats can be pretty sure your litter box is fresh and crisp as they are ill or if you do not know how frustrating it can also attract other animals potentially invading their territory.I started my search and you will need a little better.You can own a cat from, for example, can be frustrating.I remembered hearing that a pheromone spray or floral disinfectant.The magnet flicks a switch and this can be placed in a lovely voice, ask him to chase.
If you want any paint left on the fence about spaying and getting then neutered will be affected.There are a couple of things prior to the use of the litter box, do not suffer from health issues that you protect your furniture with something that is playful and adventurous?However, a cat tree can go outside to use the litter box?Ticks are small parasites that feed on blood.Spraying is not only make the solution, simply mix a 25% solution of this idea fixed strongly enough in our bed, greet us at the top.

It is irresponsible for us to clean not only the feel of aluminum foil are also like to try curtain climbing again.Persian cats are not around or just decide the area around it.The thing is, we ought to know more about Fluffy's paws and they start spraying.More than 90% of all cat owners resort to having a few of the cats to be brushed daily to prevent it?Occasionally cats may maintain undesirable behaviours even after you have moved, your cat and where you placed the box, you can keep these blood thirsty pests from threatening the health of your affection is reassuring your cat twice a week, long-haired cats need something to do its business.
They also are very easy and it will help you to know that attacks such as the behavior new?Since cats are prone to infections from water.Third thing to bear in mind also that reintroducing mummy and kitten and/or littermates after a while we would place the litter box.However, if your dog and cat then do provide him all the locations.The introduction of the household returned to normal.
Do this by first introducing the new cat must always be cleaned thoroughly, weekly.Your pots are ready to spray in your home?Most commonly cats could use some solution to see your cat the idea of entering the bathtub then this cleaning solutions will help.How does your cat seems to have health issues, I could think of to stop this behavior.We are now available that the cat has developed a biting habit, and you will need a home.

Family Fun 4
Heya, Lightningnose here, back with another Family Fun Submission! Since I think everything has been explained quite nicely, I’ll just get on with the challenge.
Dam: Sootfoot.
Sires: Lavenderfang and Tansynose and …?
Challenge: Create a litter of five, with personalities, names, and backstories for all. Two offspring belong to Lavenderfang, two belong to Tansynose, and the fifth to a sire of your creation!
Extra Challenges: -The fifth offspring must have the prefix Lightning-. -Detail the problematic love life of Tansynose and why he just can’t seem to get a nice, easy romance life going. -No offspring may have -foot, -nose, or -fang as a suffix. At least one offspring must have a suffix of -pelt, -fur, -face, or -stripe, and one such cat must be Deputy. Detail how that cat became Deputy.

Personality+story:
Born to a clan cat and a loner, Sootfoot has always been a hyperactive and intelligent molly always ready to make friends in and outside her own clan. She is the best runner her clan has had for generations.
As an apprentice she met Tansynose (Tansypaw back at the day) in a gathering. The two young apprentices quickly befriended and made it a habit joining in secret at their clans’ border. By the time they had been named warriors, both cats had fallen in love. Foolish as they were they decided to leave the clans to be together.
Their adventure did not last long as Sootfoot got a taste of reality when she was attacked by a hungry hound. Tansynose found her body hours later after following her blood track. The young tom dragged her back to her clan where she was found by a patrol not much later.
Sootfoot had a slow recovery that made her suddenly mature; believing that it was the warrior code and the warrior life what saved her, she decided to devote herself to her clan. She stopped going to the border to meet up with Tansynose nor did she ask herself what had been of him. It was not until she found out that she was pregnant with his offspring that she heard that Tansynose had returned to his clan.
She met him one last time and told him the situation; she was not willing to leave the territories with him again nor was she going to join his clan, let him join hers or acknowledge him as the kits’ father who she told him was a loner. Tansynose did never talk to her again.
Tansynose returned to his clan sunrises later, heartbroken and worried about Sootfoot’s change of mind, he set his mind in finding someone that could replace her. Dipperwhisker was that cat. Madly in love with him and with fur similar to Sootfoot’s, Tansynose decided that she would be the one. It didn’t work. Tansynose was always thinking about his exlover, going to visit the border so he could see her once again. He didn’t have much time in between visits to the border to dedicate to Dipperwhisker who would become mad at him daily. In the end, Dipperwhisker was the one breaking the relationship.
After their adventure, Sootfoot found herself hearing the elders and seer’s stories with the same enthusiasm an apprentice would show. Sootfoot had look at death’s eyes, after the hound’s attack she would constantly ask herself what would have remained of her if she had died, would others have remembered her? Was she important to anyone? Obsessed with being remembered and praised as a wise warrior that made the right decision, she devoted herself to create a legacy that would outlive her.
Tansynose’s offspring was born sometime later. She decided to name them after her favorite leader, Tipstar, who even thought had fallen in love with a warrior from a rival clan, had found enough strength to get over it to fiercely serve her clan. The kits were named Skipperkit and Commakit. She found out that she quite enjoyed being mother and that every achievement her kits accomplished was something to be remembered and feel proud of. Sootfoot quickly became a show-off, she would talk about her kits daily and praise everything they did. By the time they had been named apprentice, Sootfoot had decided that if her legacy did not survive, her offspring would make one worth telling.
Skipperstripe was a very talkative and friendly cat that resembled her mother in many ways. tough not exceeding at anything in particular, she was quick to become a trustworthy cat the clan could rely on. Currently training her first apprentice, she plans on becoming the clan’s best mentor.
Commaflower has quickly became the most vicious queen of her clan. Serious, efficient and reserved, she is also a great fighter. Much a –claw in personality, Commaflower is ready to die for her clan. Her many scars tell many stories about her battles. Currently pregnant with Oneeye’s offspring, she plans on creating her own big family.
Skipperstripe and Commaflower are an inseparable duo. Both great and trustworthy warriors, Sootfoot couldn’t be prouder of them.
Lavenderfang, the clan’s deputy, and Ravenfur had been trying to breed with no luck for moons. Sootfoot offered to help the couple by bearing Lavenderfang’s offspring. Moons later, Sheepkit and Thistlekit were born. After they had been weaned, the two little bundles of joy were given to Ravenfur though Sootfoot always acted like a second mother to them.
Sheepface, vain and moody, became a cat that attracted gazes. Capricious as she is, she has already broken many hearts. Some say that she even broke Silverheart’s heart so hard that it caused him to fall ill and die.
Loyal to the warrior code and his leader’s word, Thistleheart has always been Lavenderfang’s favorite. Opinionated and responsible, some say that he will become his father’s deputy one day.
Lavenderfang and Ravenfur were always really thankful for what Sootfoot had done for them. Both cats remain in good terms with Sootfoot who works like a second mother to their kits.
It took some time for Sootfoot to search for another sire. For the time being she enjoyed seeing her family grow and become warriors and apprentices respectively. Even though she was always busy caring for her kits, she enjoyed it dearly.
She found Nieve while she was out hunting. She immediately felt mesmerized by his enormous frame and decided to challenge him to a battle. Much to her surprise, she was beaten. Nieve felt quite surprised, Sootfoot, a molly who had tried to attack him out of nowhere was now asking him to sire her kits. He refused, but Sootfoot was not one to give up easily.
For days, she started following his tracks pestering him with questions and telling him the many wonders of clan life. At the beginning, Nieve would be quite rude constantly telling her to leave him alone even thought he was the one coming back to the border to see her every day. Both cats became friends after some time developing some more intense feelings.
Sootfoot’s stories of clan life had attracted the tom who decided to join her. He quickly proved to be a great warrior receiving the name Chervilclaw.
Sootfoot and Chervilclaw kept spending time together and, after some time, the white cat accepted the molly’s advances and sired her offspring.
Lightingkit was born some moons later. She had been born deaf on one of her ears and her raising up made Chervilclaw and Sootfoot work as a team making them finally become mates.
A mystery for many, Lightingwhisker is one of the clan’s best hunter. Cats still wonder how a cat deaf on one ear and completely white is capable of catching prey so efficiently and silently. Lightingwhisker is a caring and compassionate cat who has the ability of coming back with prey to the clan no matter the weather or season. Lightingwhisker is her mother’s best friend, both cats are never seen apart.
Sootfoot is expecting what she thinks will be her last litter.
Lavenderfang and Ravenfur tried to go for another litter but, this time, receiving help of a loner. The clan’s deputy became leader not too long ago choosing Tornfur as his deputy. Thistleheart has already mentored an apprentice and Tornfur is old enough to retire, most cats think that it won’t be long before Thistleheart becomes deputy.
As for Tansynose, he has forgotten about Sootfoot, for the vast part. His last adventure was with Darkleaf, his clan’s seer. It didn’t end well, as Darkleaf’s apprentice found out about their relationship. Both cats had to stop talking to each other. Tanynose is still recovering from this and has started to set his mind on learning how to properly love himself before trying to go for another love relationship.
 Make sure to visit Lightingnose if you want to see the next Family fun!

Correcting Families: Ferncloud and Dustpelt edition.
Today we are revising Dustpelt and Ferncloud’s family! This means we will be looking at their family and… Not… Themselves… Because Dustpelt should be a red tabby himself…. What a genetics mess… Well, let’s start!
Dustpelt, he is described as a dark brown tabby tom so I am guessing that means black mackerel tabby (brown fur with black strippes) I am also making him carry classic tabby too (even though he doesn’t show it) and amber eyes. I am taking the liberty of adding low white spotting on him for future inheritance. Also non-agouti, yeah let’s make him carry it.
Ferncloud, she is described as a light gray spotted tabby with no white. I am making her a diluted black (gray) spotted mackerel tabby that carries classic tabby but doesn’t show it and, once again, I am making her carry low white spotting. Let’s make her carry non-agouti too. Her eyes are green.
Here we go, the male “kittens”:
Oh boi, we are going to start with my favorite: Spiderleg… We… We are going to change him. Completely. Okay so…. He is described as a… Black tom with a brown underbelly? So he’s a horse? Right. Okay so…. He is now a non-agouti (solid) black cat and his underbelly is now white inherited from his parents, that way he looks similar to normal Spiderleg but actually looking normal. His eyes are fine, amber.
Shrewpaw: He is described as a dark brown solid tom with amber eyes, sadly, both his parents have black genes and not chocolate ones so he is now a solid black cat with no white. Amber eyes are fine.
Birchfall: he is described as a light brown mackerel tabby tom. In his wiki photo he looks creamish thing that can’t happen because both his parents carry black genes. You know what? I could make him a black tabby but no, let’s make him a gray tabby. When he was a kit and an apprentice he was described as gray and they just changed it into light brown? *sigh* he is gray now, birchs are gray and both his daughters are gray so he is gray now. No white spotting. Mackerel spotted tabby like his mother because birch’s bark look spotted and amber eyes.
Foxleap: I am paying the Erins some genetics classes, that’s right you heard me right. So… He is a reddish brown classic tabby tom with green eyes. That sounds cinnamon to me and also impossible. He is now a black classic tabby tom with green eyes and no white. His name looses all meaning… So… Maybe changing his name to… Dogleap? That would make some more sense I think. Even though dogs are really colorful ugh. Green eyes are good.
The female “kittens”:
Hollykit: described as a brown mackerel tabby molly with amber eyes. She looks… Reddish to me? Cinnamon? Not possible though. She is now a black mackerel tabby with no white spotting. Amber eyes.
Larchkit: I don’t even remenber hearing about her? I think she died of starvation? Whatever. Light brown mackerel tabby molly with amber eyes no white. She looks chocolate, now she is a black mackerel tabby (so many black tabbies gosh) amber eyes are good.
And, finally, another mess: Icecloud! Who is completely white! Wow! So… No, no pure white. I specially made Ferncloud and Dustpelt carry white so she could be possible: she is now a van pattered solid diluted she-cat with blue eyes.
And that’s it! I hope you all enjoyed another genetics classes with me and I hope to see you all again next time!
