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, Malvina / Barnaul, 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 the pedigree implies

On the path above an obligate pair. Above Meowrigi Cincinella

This is computed from the recorded parentage each time this site is built and is not typed into the register. It is a deduction from the trait being dominant, not a statement by any source, and it is not the same thing as the record's own status field. Only a laboratory settles it for an individual. The full list is on latent lines.

What is flagged

1. Raimonda Slavicat. Her own details are now held, from the line's own slide supplied 2 September 2026: SIB n 24, BORN 10 APRIL 2015, Siberian, green eyed, bred by the breeder who found Malvina. That date narrows the generation question in this line without settling it. This register carries her as Malvina's own daughter, and it separately records that Malvina was found in 2015 with no month given. A kitten born on 10 APRIL 2015 was conceived around the first week of february, so Malvina can only be the dam if she was found, settled and mated inside the first five weeks of that year. That is possible and it is not ruled out here; it is simply tight, and it would mean the find was January 2015 or earlier than the year recorded. The stronger evidence is not the date at all. This record's own note says something different from its own parent links, that Malvina's blue-eyed kitten was bred TO Raimonda, which would make her a mate brought in and not a daughter, and the breeder's count of generations agrees with that note. The mating to Caspian black Hole is the outstanding request on this line. This register records two matings of that Aktau founder to Malvina and holds not one of the kittens; the compiler was told on 2 September 2026 that the breeder who found Malvina has them. They would stand below two separate dominant blue eye founders at once and there is nothing else of that description in this register. The reading that reconciles everything is the breeder's own: Malvina, then her blue-eyed kitten, then the red and white male who is Velvet's sire, then Velvet, which makes Velvet a Great-granddaughter exactly as the breeder says and makes this animal a mate rather than a daughter. The parent links are not changed here because moving them moves the trace, and that is the compiler's decision and not this note's. She is green eyed and stands between blue-eyed animals, which is what a dominant determinant passing through some offspring and not others looks like. S_RANOCERT_230 CORRECTED 2 SEPTEMBER 2026: She is not malvina's daughter and her parent links are removed. The breeder who found Malvina and bred this animal put the question herself, asking how Malvina could be Raimonda's mother, and answered it: Raimonda is a pedigree Siberian that she crossed with one of Malvina's. Her chart draws this animal joined by a cross to Malvina's blue-eyed boy, which is a mating and not a descent. The register had her in that boy's place, which collapsed one generation out of the Barnaul chain and is why the breeder's count of Velvet as a great-granddaughter did not agree with this register's count of granddaughter. The missing boy is now entered and the counts agree. Her own pedigree is not held here and her ancestors are not this register's. S_BARNAUL_231

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.

The code read out

Siberian; black; spotted tabby

The description held

black tabby homozygosity in this line is stated to be lethal. Professor Marie abitbol, who identified DBE-ALT and DBE-CEL, states in her 2026 World Cat Federation presentation, on the slide headed 'Malvina line', that this is a dominant blue eye line from Russia, that it was introduced into the Siberian breed, that homozygosity is lethal, that there is no data on deafness, and that the search for the variant is ongoing. This is the researcher's statement and not this survey's finding: the presentation gives the conclusion without the underlying counts, so no number of lost kittens is claimed here. It is recorded against every animal of the line because a breeder looks up an animal and not a line. What it means in practice: mating two carriers of this determinant together is expected to lose the quarter of the litter that inherits two copies, and because those kittens do not survive to be counted, a breeder doing it may see only small litters and conclude nothing is wrong. It is a different and worse harm from the compound heterozygote this register documents elsewhere, which is white and deaf and which lives. The determinant of this line remains unidentified and this note does not attribute one. S_LETHAL_206

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.
