How this cat connects, or does not connect, to an identified dominant blue eye variant. Generated from the register at build time.
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.
No descent is traced above this cat. The register holds no chain of recorded parentage from this animal upwards to the head of a line, and its own parents are not recorded. The gap is above it, not below it: 95 records stand below this cat, one of them its own offspring. Where a cat appears under a line without a chain upwards, the line name rests on a source that asserts it rather than on parentage the register can follow.
| Generation | Cats held | Carrying a variant |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2 of 2 possible | none |
| 2 | 0 of 4 possible | none |
| 3 | 0 of 8 possible | none |
| 4 | 0 of 16 possible | none |
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.
This directory is built from what people send it. For this cat it does not hold:
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.
