Urban Spot of CaDazz

prefix CaDazz · Maine Coon · line: Pedigree ancestry, not a DBE line · both eyes blue · 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 the line recorded on it, Pedigree ancestry, not a DBE line, 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. URBAN SPOT OF CADAZZ. 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.

EMS code

MCO d 01 21 61

The code read out

Maine Coon; red; van, unspecified tabby; blue eyes

The description held

red van, coded 61 for blue eyes. VAN IS THE MOST EXTENSIVE WHITE PATTERN THERE IS, so his blue eyes have an ordinary explanation and carry no information about PAX3

Note

The code and the description do not use the same words for this coat. Both are recorded and neither is reconciled to the other.

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.
