Would it be possible to find Altai and Topaz cats in Warrior cats or in a "random" breeding population?

so the question here is basically this: can a dominant blue-eyed gene pop up in the randombred population of warrior cats? the answer is a resounding Yes, Sure, Why Not!

any and all naturally-occurring mutations are fair game, in my opinion. not only that, you can find ways to make them new and exciting. for example, dominant blue-eye genes tend to occur at the same time as unique conditions and colorations. this can be negative- for example, the now extinct Ojos Azules breed, which never made it out of its very early phases due to often-fatal mutations that were linked with the blue eye gene. on the other hand, the new Topaz breed tends not to have severe complications, and often occurs with unique and cute white markings.

if you want to introduce your own blue eye mutation into your warrior cats world, there are things you can keep in mind to make things more interesting. first of all, blue eyes are linked with white—this is why cats generally only have blue eyes if they are albino, colorpoint, or have extensive white spotting, and why uniquely mutated blue eyes often occur alongside strange white markings. additionally, blue eyes are linked with deafness. the topaz breed listed above tends to produce deafness in its homozygous form, making it undesirable to breed two blue-eyed cats together.

you could absolutely utilize these things as plot points in your story, making your blue-eyed characters even more unique. you could also disregard it completely! there’s no reason you couldn’t have a completely unique mutation that produces no side-effects whatsoever!

you can find more information on the dominant blue-eye mutations that have been found so far here!

have any questions about canon or oc character genetics? shoot me an ask!

Is there any new information out there on the new Russian Altai and Topaz cat breeds?

Nothing really new no and I don’t really expect there to be much new information very soon. Heterozygous breeding is continuing at the moment as expected without any issues and more blue eyed cats are being introduced into other breeds/breeding programs like Munchkins, Maine Coons and I think Norwegian Forest Cats.

However on a sidenote an Australian cat breeder (maryvalleycattery.com) who imported one of these cats this year to introduce the blue eyed gene to his cattery by chance found another cat with very intense blue eyes and independant coat colour in Australia, which has produced blue eyed kittens as well. 

He is currently hoping to find out if it is the same gene as the Russian Altai or a new blue eyed gene altogether, which would be quite exciting. Especially since there is a possibility that homozygous kittens from this (potentially) new line won’t display health concerns like the Ojos Azules did before or the increased risk of deafness when 2 blue eyed high white Topaz cats are being mated.

For anyone who wants to look up some more about this new breed/gene you can have a look at this post I made a while back:

Can you sketch a picture of the Three Diablos Perla (cream tabby and white female kitten), Timoteo (grey tabby with white male kitten), and Gonzalo (calico male kitten) from Dreamworks Puss in Boots: The Three Diablos?

YES I love these kittens! Forever disappointed the short wasn’t called ‘the three mus-cat-eers’ but I get it Dreamworks, the Aristocats did that in like 1970. Anyway, thanks for requesting this! I got too into it as you can see, could totally still be a sketch though…. I’m welcoming quick sketch requests as short breaks & practice, they’ll get done rather randomly but reply/send a message if you have any ideas :)

I sent you a submission featuring a molly cat ant two tomcats. Did you look at it.

No, tumblr must have eaten it. You can resend if you’d like.

For Inktober Day 30, I drew @nebbie91 ‘s request of a DuckTales 2017 styled Gauchito!

So, I did! (Click it if you’d like! It’s a PNG file!)

[sindoodles]

How are you?

I’m doing well, thank you!

I should take this opportunity to say that my activity from here on out is going to be very minimal. Though it may seem far away, my final exam for vet school is looming in the distance and I absolutely have to pass it.

To anyone sending in genetics questions, you may have to wait a while for a response if it’s something overly complex, but I will do my best to keep on top of the simple ones that don’t require as much research.

Thanks for the basic tutorial on a realistic black-based tabby with a forehead M.

Hi Nebbie91,

No problem!! I’m glad its (maybe) been helpful!

@nebbie91​ - the submit posts you sent were kinda messy for me to look through so I decided to make a new post to organize everything!!!

So, as you listed them. 1 - 11

Yakko, Wakko, and Dot (All look the same so only one image here)

Canon - White face and paws

Accurate - White face AND chest, as well as paws

Rita -

Canon - grey with white underbelly, paws, tailtip and face

Accurate - same

Orange cat  -

Canon - Solid orange 

Accurate - Ticked orange

Krupp Kitty -

canon - solid blue/grey with white face, underbelly, paws and tailtip

accurate - same (picture displays ticked tabby, not solid)

Marabella Maybeloota Missy McCoy (?) -

canon - solid red with darker ears and light underbelly/paws

accurate - ticked red with white

Precious -

Canon - Solid red with lighter face/underbelly/paws

Accurate - Red tabby (can be any tabby) with white spotting

Fluffball -

Canon - Solid blue/grey with lighter unders

Accurate - same (picture shows tabby, not solid)

The Sib’s parents - 

Canon - White face and paws

Accurate - White face AND chest, as well as paws

Fat cat - 

Canon - purple (assumed lilac)

Accurate - same

Note: I chose ‘ticked’ tabby for most solid orange cats, as its the closest to solid you can get with the red gene

I attempted a russet-carnelian cat.

Adorable! Look at that little pink nose and those ears! Approved friend. Keep up the good work!

I’ve heard of some cream tabbies, red tabbies, brown tabbies, cinnamon tabbies, fawn selfs, and fawn tabbies be referred to as blonde cats or blonde tabbies. Have you noticed that at all? Is the blonde self and blonde tabby and their dilute and dilute modifier versions a legitimate thing? Can you post about it if you do find an actual blonde gene in cats?

Hmm, not to my knowledge no, sorry! It might be used colloquially, but I’ve never come across blonde as an official colour.

Assuming that they are cats, what would the Warner Sibs, Yakko, Wakko and Dot from Animaniacs look like if they were genetically accurate? Also, what would a genetically accurate Rita the cat (also from Animaniacs) look like?

Bud, I really appreciate the questions, but what is it you’re really asking me for here? Is it art? Because we’ve just established I can’t do that. I know you know black cats with white spotting exist. I know you know gray cats with white spotting exist. I’m happy to cover more questionable patterns because it’s fun for me, but there’s no work to do here. You don’t have to defer to me for everything. Trust your own knowledge, do it yourself and show it off to me!

What do you think that the Singapura cat is genetically? Do you think that A- on the agouti or solid gene, TaTa on the ticked tabby gene, genetically low contrast color restriction (Burmese or sepia) cbcb, and genetically chocolate bb is a good guess because Singapuras are described as having a "sepia agouti" pattern with brown ticking?

The Singapura is a pretty interesting breed since there is alot of controversy surrounding their creation. That said I did some researchand on one Singapura cat club website I found the following information:

“Since eliminating the solid colours, the Singapura has beendetermined to have the genotype AA BB cbcb DD ii TaTa. AA denoting Agouti, BB denotingblack, cbcb denoting that the cat appears brown not black, DD denoting thatthere is no recessive dilute, ii denoting that there is no rufus inhibiting orsilver gene, and TaTa denoting that the breed is tabby agouti in pattern.”

So basically what you have but they are apparentlygenetically black, rather than chocolate. I must say that there are somesingapura individuals that appear to look like chocolate-ticked tabbies, butthere is always the possibility of cross-breeds or perhaps even a phenomenonsimilar to the Ruddy Abyssinian where they have been bred to appear one colour,but are genetically another.
