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.

Hi there! Are there any crazy/fictitious-like fur colors, patterns and/or mutations in cats? I'm very interested in fur colors & fur genetics in general, and I wanted to know interesting color/pattern variations in cats. Thanks :)

I showcased a lot of interesting breed-specific ones in this post - but here are some more interesting colors and patterns that weren’t included!

(source: Indian Spring Cats)

The Bangkok or Wila Krungthep is an developmental native breed first identified in Thailand presenting with unique coloration described as mocha. This gene can be paired with the colorpoint (cs) gene to create a lighter variety called siamocha or paired with the sepia gene (cb) to create a darker variety called burmocha.

(source: Morgan Fancy Cats)

The sunshine gene that is signature to of the Siberian and Neva Masquerade breeds can also be found in British Shorthairs.

(source: Dierenkliniek Zwaag)

Disclaimer: These cats are sedated to be neutered, they have not been harmed.

There’s a poorly understood phenomena described as “red on blue tabby.” This is likely related to the recently discovered phoenix mutation in Maine Coons.

(Source: vom Grutholz)

The karpati pattern is sometimes described as reverse colorpoint, but the gene is unrelated. This gives the coat a sort of “salt and pepper” appearance. Originally discovered in the Carpathian region it has since been introduced into several breeds.

Here are some tags you might enjoy browsing!

Agouti (Abyssinian, Somali)

Amber (Norwegian)

Amber Tortoiseshell (Norwegian)

Bimetallic (Sunshine Silver)

Caramel

Carnelian (Kurilian)

Charcoal

Copper (British)

Corin (Copper, Sunshine)

Dominant Blue Eye

Extension (Amber, Carnelian)

Iris Melanosis

Karpati

Leukotrichia

Light Amber (Norwegian)

Light Amber Tortoiseshell (Norwegian)

Midnight Charcoal

Mocha (Bangkok)

Pink Eyed Dilution

Phoenix (Maine Coon)

Pseudo Cinnamon

Roan (Lykoi)

Ruddy (Abyssinian, Somali)

Servaline Tabby

Sunshine (British, Siberian)

Taupe (Blue Caramel)

Twilight Charcoal

If you are thinking of traveling to Zanzibar, Tanzania, you are in the right place. Zanzibar is the name given to the semi-autonomous region of the African Continent consisting of Zanzibar Island (Unguja Island), Pemba Island and many small islets connected to Tanzania. Although the region has made a name for itself with tourism, most people know this place because of Stone Town, the birthplace of Queen's famous lead singer Freddie Mercury.

Located on the Swahili Coast, the island is very close to mainland Tanzania. When To Go To  Zanzibar? Zanzibar, which has a tropical climate with the effect of the equator and the hot Indian Ocean, has hot and humid weather most of the year. However, in Zanzibar, where precipitation is frequent, 'long rains' are seen in March, April and May, and 'short rains' are seen in November.

Genetta cristata - Crested Servaline Genet

[checkoutafrica]

The name Zanzibar is an Arabic word that is translated as 'the coast of black people'. The Zanzibar archipelago is a series of islands on the Indian Ocean about 16-31 miles from the mainland Republic of Tanzania. It is a semi-autonomous region of the Tanzania. The island has the best beaches in the world - and this is not an exaggeration. If you love lazing around in the sun, then this is the place to go. Below are a few facts that will give you an overview of the Island country. 1. Zanzibar is comprised of several islands, but two are the larger ones. Ugunja is the largest one and is erroneously called Zanzibar. The other is called Pemba. 2. The island is home to the almost extinct Zanzibar Red Columbus Monkey, the Zanzibar Servaline Genet, and the Zanzibar Leopard. 3. Zanzibar has been home to intelligent humans (Homo sapiens) for more than 20,000 years. 4. The capital of Zanzibar is called Zanzibar City and its most historic feature is the ancient Stone Town. 5. Due to its proximity to Equator, Zanzibar is warm throughout the year and has equal day and nights (12-hours each) like most of the East African Countries. 6. Apart from tourism, the other economic activity in Zanzibar is spice growing. In fact, the island is sometimes fondly referred to as The Spice Island due to its cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, and black pepper. 7. Some ancient potteries have been discovered in Zanzibar showing that it was a major trading route for the ancient Assyrians. 8. Amazingly, the shortest war ever recorded by man is the Anglo-Zanzibar War where the British bombarded the Beit al Hukum Palace and after 38 minutes, a ceasefire was called. 9. Thanks to Monsoon Winds, by the first century, Arabs, Persians and Indians were sailing to Zanzibar in their fast sailing dhows. 10. Throughout history, the Persians, Portuguese, Omani and British have fought to control the important island. It was seen as a gateway to mainland East Africa. In fact, the Sultanate of Omani was the first to trade slaves, cloves and ivory from East African Mainland. #checkoutafrica #travel #africa #Zanzibar — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2Mr28RD

Tell me about the iron triangle’s fursonas!!

you are ENABLING ME and i love it.

okay so. i think people often want to cast wu xie as some sort of dog, because of the wu family association with them, BUT. i actually have two thoughts for his form, one for more general and one for sha hai specifically. for the general, i would cast him as a hare—people always THINK they’re just big rabbits, but they can be VICIOUS. my sha hai specific casting of him is a servaline genet—there’s just something subtly OFF about them, they sort of straddle the line between some sort of mustelid and a cat, which i think is a really good personality summary of wu xie in sha hai. also, you’ve got that classic leopard spotting which i just adore.

for pangzi: raven! they’re very smart, and people always think they’re maybe middling size until they see one and go HOLY SHIT THAT’S BIG. people underestimate how social and playful they are, but also how well they hold a grudge, and so i think it fits pangzi :)

xiaoge………i am going to break from “standard” fursona types here and cast him as a maned wolf with tiger patterning. red and tigers are both symbols of good luck, and the “unusual” combination is reminiscent of the “unusual” appearance of the qilin that he’s so well known for. also, i feel like it makes sense for an immortal to have a form that isn’t necessarily “realistic”.

okay that is all thank you for listening to my rambling >:)
