Learning new cat colour genetics. Hybrid introduced genes.

Basically, I learnt most of the genetics of cats and some rodents from a book called the Colour Inheritance in Small Livestock by Roy Robinson. Printed 2013.

But new genes have been discovered since, part 4.

Bengal (Asian leopard cat, ALC)-

Come in Spotted and marbled. Ocelli refers to white spots on back of ears f1-f3.

Brown- normal, but can be chocolate (choc not black markings) and golden (with Inhibitor gene)

Snow bengals- Seal lynx point (tabby point) (cs cs), seal mink (cb,cs), seal sepia (cb,cb). Eyes are blue, aqua and green or gold I'm that order.

Silver bengals- inhibitor gene, ground is white to steel grey. Markings dark grey to jet black.

Charcoal- modification of tabby gene, occur as Alc asip mismatches with domestic asip gene. So come in charcoal brown, charcoal snow and charcoal silver. Barely any rufousing, black markings. "Zoro" Mask on nose and face.

Sorrel- lighter shades of brown, similar to cinnamon. Is corin gene

Wheaten- non rufous sorrel

Whited- white fronts, face and undersides. From Asian leopard cat. Not linked to white spotting.

Melanistic- black self

Blue- ground pale blue grey to slate blue grey. Markings are medium to dark blue. Not recognised in bengals.

Albino- white with red/purple eyes. Pink paw pads. May have come from Asian leopard cat

Glitter- Fgfr2 mutation in domestic cats. Soft and iridescent fur. Caused by hollow spaces in hairs. Two versions. Mica looks like tiny "silicate crystals" in the hair tips. Recessive. Not on solid cats

Satin- Is whole hair shaft and have larger air cells in hairs. Causes translucency. Recessive.

Patina - dark hairs blur the basic black/ brown pattern on the back/shoulder. Causing it to look fading

Cashmere/Pardino- long haired bengal

Savannah- (serval)-

Bengal colours

Servaline- a tabby that has small freckle spots. Instead of big spots

Chausie- (jungle cat)-

Grizzle- silver tipped black. Type of glitter. From Jungle cats

Geoffery cat and oncilla hybrids had fertility issues. Margay Hybrid resemble bengal.

back when I thought the seal mink kitten would be mine, I settled on the name Belphegor!

BUT now I know that my (unborn) kitten will likely be a red tabby or a torbie:

neither of these colours seem like a Belphegor....... I have to go back to the drawing board.

i thought that Law was based on the cute spotted seal when actually he was based on a fucking leopard seal

i decided to draw him as a leopard seal later

Which devon rex kitten are you thinking about getting?

I'm trying not to get too hopeful about any particular grub, because I don't have first choice! I'm #3 in line for a boy

that said, I do have three favourites, so it'll most likely be one of these:

I went whale watching for the first time this season and saw about 50 Atlantic white sides dolphins, 70 seals, 1 fin whale, 5 minke whales, and 7 humpback whales.

I have seen a fin whale once before but it was pretty far and only for a second. So it was very cool to be able to see this one so well. Today I also learned fin whales are one of the only asymmetrical vertebrate species. "Fin whales have distinctive coloration—black or dark brownish-gray on the back and sides and white on the underside. Head coloring is asymmetrical—dark on the left side of the lower jaw, white on the right-side lower jaw, and the reverse on the tongue."

So all in all it was a really fun day.
