Dreams of Heaven Louki

prefix Dreams of Heaven · Scottish Fold · one blue eye · No variant and no line attributed

Under the variant field this directory proposes, this cat would read DBE 161p. A carrier of a variant nobody has sequenced, 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 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. DREAMS OF HEAVEN LOUKI. A LEAD THAT QUALIFIES A CONCLUSION THIS REGISTER HAD ALREADY DRAWN. The holder of this register states that the DREAMS OF HEAVEN DOMINANT BLUE EYE CATS TRACE TO HOLMS SUPER QUEEN, IMPORT RUSSIA | WHAT THIS REGISTER WROTE BEFORE, AND WHY IT NEEDS QUALIFYING. Of that prefix it wrote: 'EVERY CODED CAT IN THIS PREFIX CARRIES HIGH WHITE, AND UNDER THIS REGISTER'S RULE THAT MEANS NONE OF THEM IS EVIDENCE.' THAT IS TRUE ABOUT EVIDENCE AND IT WAS WRITTEN AS THOUGH IT SETTLED WHAT THE CATS ARE. IT DOES NOT. THE COAT RULE GOVERNS HOW AN UNTESTED CAT IS READ, NOT WHAT IT CARRIES. A van coded 61 has an ordinary explanation available, so it cannot be used AS EVIDENCE of a variant; IT CAN STILL CARRY ONE, and if it descends from an imported cat of a line that carries one, it may well do. This is the same distinction BelleAyr O'Blue Pearl forced, where a genotype overrode an appearance the rule would have read the other way | AND THE 61 IS SUSPECT ON ITS OWN TERMS. The from Sham cattery's published pedigree writes 61 on three consecutive generations and annotates every one 'ALT Gen, blaue Augen'. SUPERQUEEN IS THAT SAME BODY OF MATERIAL: AURORA SUPERQUEEN APPEARS ON THAT VERY PAGE AS 'BRI F2, bs 61, ALT Gen, blaue Augen'. A 61 on a Dreams of Heaven cat descending from a Superqueen import MAY BE THE SAME USAGE, and Dreams of Heaven Ice Crystal and Dreams of Heaven Z-Storm are both coded 61 | THE STATUSES ARE NOT CHANGED AND THE REASON IS DELIBERATE. Ice Crystal is a van, Mystic Eyes a harlequin and Z-Storm a van AND a colourpoint. The white and the point remain sufficient explanations of their eyes, so as EVIDENCE they stay where they were, in blue-other-cause. WHAT CHANGES IS THAT THE REGISTER NO LONGER SAYS OR IMPLIES THAT NOTHING IS THERE | WHAT WOULD SETTLE IT. A pedigree for any one of the three showing the descent, and a genotype on any Dreams of Heaven cat. THE PREFIX SHOULD NOT BE TREATED AS CLOSED

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.

Evidence grade

Reported asserted, with neither a test nor a traced descent

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.
