[amber-tortoiseshell]

I'm really confused about the solid amber cats- are they really not considered to be tabbies despite having tabby markings? I'm having a hard time wrapping my mind around that. Would you mind expanding upon that topic?

There are two possible uses of the word "tabby" (and I think both are equally valid and useful and have their places).

One is what you use: when a cat is striped. That's it. In this meaning "solid" ambers are tabbies, yes. This is what people mean when they say "all orange cats are tabbies". This is useful in everyday talk, but can get messy, think of smoke ghost tabbies or ticked tabbies.

The other is what i use on this blog: tabby is when a cat's agouti genotype is 'A_', solid is when it's 'aa'. Unfortunately this means both (genetically!) tabby and solid cats can have bafflingly not tabby- or solid-looking phenotypes and that can lead to confusion.

It's intuitive for black: a black tabby is striped, a solid black is solid. This is why the a allele is called "solid" - in reality it doesn't make the cat patternless per se, it increases the production of the black pigment in the "background" of the tabby pattern.

The only difference between the genetics of these colors is the agouti gene.

For red, genetically solid cats often look identical to genetically tabbies.

Kitten and adult photo of a cat born to a solid black and a solid tortie. He's 100% genetically solid red.

Solid tortoiseshells can show this difference very well:

The black parts of this cat reveal it's genetically solid - but still have stripes on the red patches.

Amber is somewhere in the middle between red and black: solid cats aren't completely black, but still blacker than tabbies.

This is probably a direct consequence of how orange cats doesn't produce any black pigments whatsoever, while ambers do have some, just less than blacks, so being genetically solid has less effect on them.

so i saw this cat on pinterest, the caption claimed it was an amber tabby, but a commenter (who apparently runs a cattery?) said it was a smoke because "amber tabbies don't have black noses"

but those stripes look way too defined to be smoke to me, and i've seen other sources claim that a black nose is a defining feature of amber tabbies? so what color is that cat

also i found another tabby with a black nose but this one doesn't look like any ambers i've seen do you know what it is by chance

The first one is a solid (aa) amber, not a tabby. Its name is Kingsley, and here's the original picture on instagram. (Amber is like red, solids are very strongly ghostmarked, and the black nose is a defining feature of solid ambers.) I don't think it's a smoke, the colors are consistent with regular amber, and amber smokes are usually softer and cooler toned.

Ironically your second cat is actually an amber smoke, Krusmons Golden Gate. Probably photographed young while the color is still in development.

Amber tabbies, like my Galadriel, have pink noses surrounded with yellow and white fur:

Here is a poor picture I took of her half-brother, Trygg, and her mother, Viva:

This is the difference between a tabby and a solid amber.

If you use tumblr web, I have a huge extension coming that you’re all gunna use and love. I’ll release it on the Firefox store and chrome store and safari extension store, hopefully within the next week, as everything is working, just making some visual polishing atm, but yeah no bugs so far. Solid foundation and extension, everything’s working how it should it’s just I like things so perfect visually so it takes me a bit longer to release shit. I’m not sure if anyone else who codes feels the same way.

Tumblr Savior v2.0.1 Released

Hi friends, I've just released a new version of Tumblr Savior that includes a major change in how it stores your settings and you will need to take a manual step to restore your settings. This is due to a recent change in Chrome requiring web extensions to use manifest version 3.

First, a little background. Tumblr Savior had been using localStorage since it launched over 10 years ago. Unfortunately localStorage is not available in service workers which Google has decided is how they want browser extensions to run background processes.

I had been putting off this change in hopes that they might change their mind, but as it stands now, if tumblr changes their dashboard and Tumblr Savior breaks, I won't be able to publish a new version without updating to manifest version 3.

What does that mean for you?

Your settings will fail to load when you update to v2 of Tumblr Savior and you might start to freak out when you notice that items on your blacklist are not being blocked or your settings are different. But don't panic, go into your Tumblr Savior options and open the Save/Load tab. There's a new button in the middle of the page that says Read from localStorage. Press that button and you should see your old settings from localStorage appear in the textarea above. Scroll down, take a look at your settings to make sure they're correct, and then click the Load button when you're ready to use your old settings again.

What if it doesn't work?

If you run into problems, please feel free to email me directly and I'll try my best to sort things out.

As always you can find Tumblr Savior at the following locations:

Tumblr Savior for Edge

Tumblr Savior for Firefox

Tumblr Savior for Chrome

Tumblr Savior for Opera

And if you want to show some appreciation and support my work, you can send a little money my way.
