Genealogy trace, one printable page carrying the proposed code

Under the variant field this directory proposes, this cat would read DBE 161p. A carrier of a variant with no published allele, on no named line. This is the group bare 161 exists for. The proposal is set out in full here, and no registry issues this field today: it is computed from the record at each build and is not part of any registration.

How this cat is connected to the trait

No recorded parent link joins this cat to a founder or to a tested animal. What the record rests on instead is the line recorded on it, Aktau / Caspian, which is a source's attribution and not a descent this register can walk; and no recorded parent at all, which is a gap in the sources and not a statement that the cat had none.

No parent is recorded for this cat in the register, so no genealogy can be drawn. That is a gap in the sources, not a statement that the cat had none. Any offspring the register holds are listed below.

What is flagged

1. Caspian black Hole. He was deaf. Reported by the Meowrigi breeder and relayed to this survey on 2 September 2026. This is the first deafness recorded against any founder in this register and it is the harm the whole survey exists to document. The compiler's reading is that deafness in a blue-eyed founder points to two copies of a determinant, either the same one twice or one each of two different ones, which is the compound heterozygote state this register documents elsewhere. That is a proposal and not a finding, and the ordinary alternative is not dismissed: deafness in cats most commonly follows dominant white and white spotting, this animal is a found cat with no code and no pedigree above him, and his recorded descendants carry white figures. He was never tested and cannot now be. What would advance it is a hearing test and a genotype on his living descendants, of whom this register holds several. He was bred from, and that is the point of recording it. He was not a deaf pet kept aside: this register holds him as one of the cattery's two dominant blue eye foundation cats, the chart records four matings, two to Malvina and two to Meowrigi Cincinella, before he was castrated, and four records stand below him here. One of those, Meowrigi Rastishka, is himself blue-eyed on his own certificate and was afterwards used in a Sphynx breeding programme, so the descent of a deaf founder has already left this cattery and entered another breed. The two matings to Malvina produced no offspring this register holds, and that is the most important gap on this page. The offspring exist. The compiler was told on 2 September 2026 that the breeder who found Malvina holds the kittens of that mating. An animal out of Caspian black Hole by Malvina stands below two independent dominant blue eye founders at once, the Aktau founder on the sire's side and the Barnaul founder on the dam's, which is the strongest candidate for a compound heterozygote that this survey has identified anywhere. Neither determinant has been identified molecularly and no test exists for either, so nothing is claimed about what such an animal carries. What is claimed is that the mating is exactly the one this register was built to find, and that its offspring are not lost but held, unrecorded here, by a breeder this survey can reach. The sire of that mating was deaf. The deafness is recorded because a breeder considering this line needs to know it, whatever its cause. S_RANOCERT_230

A flag is not an error. It marks a place where two sources say different things, or where an attribution cannot be made on the evidence held.

odd-variant: one blue eye, put down to a DBE variant or its line

Eyes, in the source's words

odd-eyed in the messybeast text; the chart draws him with two blue eyes

Role

founder

Relations named by the source

found in Aktau and brought to the Meowrigi cattery as its second dominant blue eye foundation cat. Mated to Meowrigi Cincinella, giving Meowrigi Ping Pong. The source does not agree with itself on the number of matings: it records two matings to Malvina and two to Meowrigi Cincinella, and then states that he was castrated after two matings

Country

Kazakhstan, Aktau, a city on the Caspian sea

In the register

• Offspring recorded in this register; a cat may have others: Juja, Meowrigi Ping Pong, Meowrigi Rastishka

This directory is a working aid compiled from published charts, registry documents and breeder statements. It is not a register and it has no standing of any kind. The grade attaches to the animal, not to the line: a cat whose ancestor was genotyped is line-traced, not genotyped.
