Rivium's Gloria

British Shorthair · line: Igor · both eyes blue · Published line, tested against the known variants and carrying none

Under the variant field this directory proposes, this cat would read DBE 161 x1p. A carrier of a variant nobody has sequenced, on a line this proposal gives a suffix to. 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, Igor, which is a source's attribution and not a descent this register can walk.

What is flagged on this tree

1. HEAVEN'S MANNA VON GRIGOLEIT. THE SIRE SIDE OF BRITISH GEMS STITCH IS NOW DOCUMENTED SIX GENERATIONS DEEP AND CARRIES NOT ONE 68 OR 69. Ten sheets, eight of them thirty ancestors of thirty and four complete generations. EVERY EYE CODE ON ALL TEN IS 61, 62, 63 OR 64 AND EVERY ONE HAS AN ORDINARY CAUSE. Seven 62s stand on DOMINANT WHITE cats: White Miyou vom Wernerwald, Victoria vom Wernerwald, Nadine von Nednil, Wydawake Bridesmaid, Wydawake Bryde, Rivium's Qanuk and Katrin's Hi Fi of Slav Story. Two 63s stand on dominant whites, Gideon and Yvana vom Ottenthal. Three more 63s stand on HIGH WHITE, A Seventh Heaven von Grigoleit at 02, Ellisa Surica BriLG at 01 and PurringPoems Susannah at 03 22. The remaining codes are 62 and 64 on silver ticked cats. THE ONLY 61 ON ANY OF THE TEN SHEETS IS HEAVEN'S MANNA VON GRIGOLEIT, BSH p 03 61, A BICOLOUR, and a bicolour gives a pale eye of itself | WHAT THAT ESTABLISHES. THE 69 ON BRITISH GEMS STITCH CAME DOWN THE DAM LINE AND NOTHING ON THE SIRE SIDE COULD HAVE SUPPLIED IT. His dam line runs King Pride Mikado 69, King Pride Kim 61, Heavenly Eyes Benjamin from Sham 68 and Cupcake Cinnamon Superqueen 69, all of them without white except Kim. The sire side is six generations of German, British, Czech, Slovak, Spanish, Polish and Dutch cats and IT IS EMPTY OF DOMINANT EYE CODES THROUGHOUT | AND THE FROM SHAM PREFIX APPEARS ON BOTH SIDES OF HIM, WHICH IS THE SUBTLE POINT. Amber vom Knuddelland's dam line is almost entirely from Sham, through My Berly, Maxwell, Moon Rose, Annabelle, Coraline, Cappuccino and Celine from Sham, and Mephisto von der Leine carries Ramy Fawn from Sham. NOT ONE OF THOSE FROM SHAM CATS CARRIES AN EYE CODE, where the HEAVENLY EYES cats on the dam side do. That is the same split the from Sham cattery listing showed: the prefix itself is silent and the Heavenly Eyes group is not
2. A SEVENTH HEAVEN VON GRIGOLEIT. THIRTY ANCESTORS, TWELVE CODED EYES, AND EVERY ONE OF THE TWELVE CARRIES 01, 02 OR 03. THIS IS THE CONTROL FOR BRITISH GEMS STITCH AND IT COMES FROM STITCH'S OWN CATTERY. The coded cats are Epica Wintrose BSH f 01 63, Eragon Winterose BSH c 01 63, Uma Cinni Viridian BSH o 01 63, Elisa Surica BriLG BSH ns 01 21 63, Grayson Rainbow Fire BSH a 02 63, A Seventh Heaven von Grigoleit BSH d 02 63, One Wish Cassia Turiana BSH b 02 63, Cukyluky Viridian BSH b 02 63, Monika Brilliant Field BSH f 02 62, Gudvangen's Unique Baby BSH fs 02 21 62 and Rivium's Happy Dream Girl BSH r 03 63. TEN 63s, TWO 62s, NOT ONE 68, NOT ONE 69 AND NOT ONE 61 | AND NOT ONE CODED CAT ON THE SHEET IS WITHOUT WHITE. Every animal the registry troubled to give an eye code carries van, harlequin or bicolour white, and two of them carry a colourpoint as well. THE UNCODED ANIMALS ARE THE ONES WITHOUT WHITE. That is the classic white spotting gene doing exactly what the holder of this register said it does, demonstrated across a complete thirty-ancestor pedigree | BRITISH GEMS STITCH IS THE EXCEPTION TO IT. He is BSH d 69, RED, with no white symbol in the code, no 01, 02, 03, 08 or 09 and no 33. Same cattery, same registry, and the only cat of the prefix carrying a dominant eye code is also the only coded cat of the prefix carrying no white. THE CONTRAST IS NOW DOCUMENTED ON TWO COMPLETE SHEETS AND A CATTERY LISTING
3. RIVIUM'S GLORIA. Eye and coat, HELD APART FROM THE DIAGNOSTIC. This cat is blue-eyed in both eyes and is not dominant white and not colourpointed, but its white code is van or harlequin. VERY HIGH WHITE CAN PRODUCE BILATERAL BLUE ON ITS OWN, which a traditional bicolour cannot, so the coat is NOT excluded here and this cat is not counted in the diagnostic. The distinction matters most at the founders: it is where this register would otherwise overclaim.

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.
