Nikita'l Gioia

prefix Nikita'l · Persian · DBE-ALT · the source records no eye colour · Genotyped

Under the variant field this directory proposes, this cat would read DBE 163p. 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 a variant recorded on the animal itself, DBE-ALT; 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. NIKITA'L GIOIA. THE NIKITA'L PREFIX LISTING HOLDS TWO CATS AND THEY ARE THE TWO FOUNDERS. Nikita'l Pheer-Ca XSH n 24 69 and Nikita'l Seymour XSH ns 03 23 68, AND NOTHING ELSE. Not one offspring is registered under the prefix and NIKITA'L MARKISS HIMSELF IS NOT ON IT. THIS WAS THE HIGHEST VALUE OUTSTANDING DOCUMENT IN THE SEARCH FOR A SECOND CROSSING OF THE ALT AND CEL LINES, because both founders demonstrably stood in this cattery together and any further litter of theirs would have been a crossing the register could not see. THE ANSWER IS THAT THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE: the registry holds no descendants of this prefix at all | WHAT THE REGISTER ALREADY HOLDS IS THEREFORE THE WHOLE OF THE RECORDED MATERIAL. Seymour by Pheer-Ca gives NIKITA'L MARKISS, the first crossing. Seymour by March Nikita'l gives KAENA, who was mated to LAZULI and gives the second. Seymour by Silva gives NIKITA'L DAISY. All three parentages come from pedigree sheets and breeder charts and NONE OF THEM FROM THE PREFIX LISTING, because the prefix listing has none | THE PREFIX IS CLOSED AND SHOULD NOT BE CHASED AGAIN. What remains unanswerable from paper is not whether more litters were registered, but whether any were bred and never registered, AND NO DOCUMENT CAN SETTLE THAT

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

Line-traced descent from a named founder is stated by the source

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.
