Record cdc-01, printed 14 September 2026. Every animal on this sheet has its own page and its own source at that address.
a cat of the Chinese Domestic Cat variant, not named in the source
Chinese domestic cat · DBE-cDc · line: Chinese Domestic Cat variant · both eyes blue, put down to a DBE variant or its line · Genotyped
Genealogy trace, one printable page carrying the proposed code
Under the variant field this directory proposes, this cat would read DBE 166p. The variant is attributed to this animal from the record rather than from a result on it. 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, Chinese Domestic Cat variant, which is a source's attribution and not a descent this register can walk; and a variant recorded on the animal itself, DBE-cDc; 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
- A cat of the Chinese domestic cat variant, not named in the source. Why this record matters more than its one line of evidence suggests. DBE-cDc is the only one of the eight variants for which a test is sold and no cat was held, and a register that carries an assay with no animal behind it is carrying a name rather than a finding. This is the first cat. It is also a black cat with two blue eyes and no white, which is the phenotype this whole survey turns on. The grade is reported and can be nothing better: the animal is unnamed, its genotype is not published, no paper describes the variant and the label DBE 5 on the photograph is the laboratory's own and not a result sheet seen by this register. S_PETGENO_277
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 description held
- A black kitten with two blue eyes, read from the photograph 13 September 2026, which carries the laboratory's own label DBE 5 on its face. A solid black cat with two blue eyes is the cleanest demonstration there is that a dominant blue eye needs no white: there is no white anywhere on this animal to which the eye could be attributed, no point gene expresses on a black coat this way, and the eye stands on its own. That is the point the no-white test in this survey rests on, shown in one photograph. No genotype for this individual is published
- Evidence grade
- Reported asserted, with neither a test nor a traced descent
Source
a laboratory slide carrying two photographs of one black blue-eyed kitten, each labelled DBE 5 on its face, read 13 September 2026. DBE5 is the identifying laboratory's own number for DBE-cDc. A second photograph of the same animal is held and not published
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.
