  1. Kelly McGowan Cat Coat Genetics

  2. Color • Red • Black • Pattern • tabby/spotted • Color Density • full color/faded color • Color blocks (white patches) Cat Coat genes

  3. Pigment genes- red dominant, x linked Coat color

  4. Coat color examples B-dd B-D- russianblue.info strangehistory.net bbdd bbD- pictures-of-cats.org mysticat.ru

  5. CAT COLOR EXAMPLES bibiD- bibidd animal-photography.com fotothing.com O-dd O-D- k.mcgowan thehorizonclan.webs.com

  6. Tabby- swirled pattern on cat seregiontica.org • Mackerel- normal striped tabby pattern Coat pattern seregiontica.org

  7. Ticked- stripes on legs and tail Spotted- stripes on legs and tail with “leopard spots” on body seregiontica.org seregiontica.org

  8. Gene for absence of color- spotting factor S SS- more white Ss- ventral white ss- no white4 Coat color patterning- white spots plasticbubbleworld.blogspot.com thefullwiki.org

  10. There are also other genes that account for points, like a Siamese cat- head, feet and tails darker color Mutations that cause long hair Some suggest that many of the white genes are additive There are many different names for all of the cat genes, and some are just suspected genes… Other genes

  14. pedigrees ? Black /tabby and white B-/D-d/SS*/A-/-- B-/dd/ss/Aa/Tm- ? B-/dd/SS/aa/-- B-/dd/SS/aa/-- This does not make any sense in normal mendelian genetics, becaseu tomcat would not be possible. I think the mother must be hetero for S, and be mosltly white because of other gene affects. Bb/dd/ss/aa/-- B-/D-/Ss/A-/Tm-

  16. Some sources think the white genes may be additive, so there may not be a clear cut between ventral white, <50% and white with spots, >50% as thought. The queens at the main feral colony are all related-either sisters or mother/daughter. There are 1-2 white queens with black spots, 1-2 white queens with grey spots, without knowing that I should have been looking at striping patterns too, some may be black tabby…. Which may look grey from afar. errors
