The proposed scheme writes no field for this cat. It codes carriers, and this animal is not recorded as one; where two causes of a pale eye stand together on a single record the scheme also leaves the cat unknown rather than coding it either way. The proposal sets out both cases.

The trace

1. Tahlia von den Edelkatzchen
   n 09 · not-blue
2. Bansetigers Pizza Perlanera
   n 09 61 · blue-variant
3. Alladin Black Star
   n 63 · odd-variant
4. Roddiffer Azazello — the line's founder
   BSH ns 25 63 on the PawPeds pedigree for Brava Kotomodda, BSH ns 25 64 on the Polish Feline Federation sheet, and 'odd eyed' in words on the German breeder sheets · odd-variant

Read this as parentage and nothing more. Each step is a parent recorded in the register from a pedigree or a breeder document. It shows how this cat descends from the founder of its line. It does not show which variant the cat carries, and it is not a substitute for a test.

The grade above and this trace are not in conflict. The grade describes what is known about the variant, and no source asserts one for this cat. The trace is parentage, assembled by this survey from the documents behind each step. A cat can have a fully documented descent and still have nothing said about which variant, if any, came down it.

Recorded ancestry, 4 generations

What this page does not establish

This cat has never been tested. Everything above rests on documents and descent. Descent from a line is not a genotype. A cat can stand in a line and carry nothing, and a blue eye can be caused by white, by colourpoint or by low iris pigment with no PAX3 variant involved.

This is not a health certificate. It says nothing about hearing, and nothing about whether this cat should be bred from. Deafness in this trait is associated with carrying two different variants at once, which no pedigree can show and only a test can.

What would change this page

This directory is built from what people send it. For this cat it does not hold:

• a test result for this cat, which is the only thing that settles which variant, if any, it carries
• a photograph, which settles an eye colour and the extent of any white far better than a code does

Sending a pedigree, a photograph or a test result. A pedigree has to be one a registry or club issued, because that is the only document that settles a parent; a breeder chart is welcome but is recorded at a lower grade and cannot draw a descent. The contact page says what to send and how. A correction is as welcome as an addition: where this page is wrong about your cat, the record is changed and the source you supply is named on it.
