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. GRAAL. A POINTED LINE, FOUR CONSECUTIVE GENERATIONS DEEP, AND THAT DISPOSES OF THE EYE QUESTION IN THIS MATERIAL. DALILA LOVELINESS*RU IS SPH n 33. HER DAM KEMETYA LIBERTY IS f 03 33. THAT DAM'S SIRE GORDON GARDEK OF KEMETYA IS n 33. HIS DAM GRAND ORAY SQUIRREL OF PHARAON CATS IS f 02 33. EVERY ONE CARRIES 33, THE COLOURPOINT CODE | A COLOURPOINTED CAT HAS BLUE EYES BECAUSE IT IS POINTED. Where the point stands on four recorded generations, A BLUE EYE ANYWHERE BELOW IS FULLY ACCOUNTED FOR, and under this register's rule NOTHING IN THIS MATERIAL CAN BE USED AS EVIDENCE OF A DOMINANT VARIANT. Here the ordinary explanation is not merely available, IT IS PRESENT AND CODED ON EVERY GENERATION | THE ONE THING THAT WOULD CHANGE THE READING IS A VARIANT ENTERING THE LINEAGE FROM OUTSIDE IT, AND NOTHING ON THESE PAGES SHOWS ONE HAS. This remains a statement about what these cats CAN SHOW and not about what they carry: a pointed line could take in a dominant variant by any outcross and the point would go on explaining every blue eye it produced, WHICH IS PRECISELY WHY THE PAPER COULD NOT DETECT IT. The register holds this material as pointed, and would need a genotype, not a pedigree, to hold it as anything else | AND TWO OF THEM CARRY HIGH WHITE AS WELL. KEMETYA LIBERTY IS 03, A BICOLOUR. GRAND ORAY SQUIRREL OF PHARAON CATS IS 02, A HARLEQUIN. The line therefore offers TWO ORDINARY EXPLANATIONS OF A PALE EYE AT ONCE, the point and the white, and they are not the same explanation | THE PHOTOGRAPH READING IS DOWNGRADED. Dalila's registration portrait appears to show ONE PALE BLUE AND ONE DARK IRIS. THE BLUE IS EXPLAINED BY THE POINT AND NEEDS NOTHING ELSE. The dark iris is the part a point does not produce, and on a line carrying both the point and white spotting AN INCOMPLETELY EXPRESSED POINT IS THE ORDINARY READING OF THAT TOO. It is held as an observation from one photograph and IT IS NOT EVIDENCE OF ANYTHING | WHAT THIS MEANS FOR SNIPER HAIRLESS GALAXY*UA, SPH n 09 63, ODD EYED, at the bottom of this descent. HE CARRIES 09, WHITE, AND THE POINT RUNS FOUR GENERATIONS ABOVE HIM. His odd eye has an ordinary explanation from either, and he is not evidence of a dominant variant. THE ODD-EYE CODE 63 ON HIM IS NOT A CANDIDATE 69 for that reason: the argument this register makes about 61 and 63 applies ONLY WHERE THE COAT OFFERS NO ORDINARY EXPLANATION, and this coat offers two | AND JANUARY THE FIRST IS AN ERROR ON THIS PLATFORM, DETERMINED BY THE HOLDER OF THIS REGISTER AND PROVED TWICE ON THESE FOUR PAGES. Kemetya Liberty is dated 1 January 2018 and is the dam of a cat born 28 January 2017. Grand Oray Squirrel is dated 1 January 2011 and is the dam of a cat born 3 February 2009. NEITHER IS A REAL DATE, both are the platform's default, AND NO DATE CONFLICT SHOULD BE READ INTO EITHER. Any 1 January date taken from this platform is to be treated as no date at all

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.

In the register

• Offspring recorded in this register; a cat may have others: Gordon Gardek of Kemetya

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.
