What the proposed field says, and why it reads that way. A carrier with no result of its own standing below an identified variant AND below a line nobody has sequenced. TWO DETERMINANTS STAND ABOVE THIS CAT AND THE SCHEME NAMES BOTH RATHER THAN CHOOSING. Where one of them is a line nobody has sequenced, NO TEST NOW AVAILABLE RESOLVES THE FIELD: a clear result on the identified variant leaves the other standing. The scheme is set out in full in the proposal. No registry issues this field today: it is computed from this cat's record at each build, so it changes by itself the day a laboratory result is entered, and nothing here has to be reissued.

What the register holds

Evidence grade

Reported — asserted, with neither a test nor a traced descent

Variant

none identified for this cat

Line

None. This cat does not descend from a line held by this register

Connection

Mated into the Igor line. That is a breeding connection and not an ancestral one: mated to King Pride Dior, of the Igor line; no descent recorded

Igor is not in this cat's ancestry. The connection is a mating. This animal was bred to a cat of the Igor line, or produced kittens with one, AND THAT IS ALL. It does not carry the line in its blood so far as this register can show, and any variant in that line reached its kittens through the other parent, not through this one.

The trace

The founders this cat descends from

No line is named for this cat, and it nonetheless descends from a founder this register holds. The chain is reached by unbroken parent links.

ALT (Nikita'l Seymour)

1. King Pride Kim
   BSH d 03 61 · blue-variant
2. Heavenly Eyes Benjamin from Sham, given on the listing as Heaventy
   BSH bs 68 · blue-unattributed
3. Cupcake Cinnamon Superqueen
   BRL bs, odd eyed dominant, in the cattery's own words; BSH bs 69 on the PawPeds cattery listing; BLH bs with no eye code on his own PawPeds sheet · odd-variant
4. Aurora Superqueen
   BRI F2, bs 61 · blue-variant
5. Nikita'l Daisy
   BRI F1, ns 61 · blue-variant
6. Nikita'l Seymour — the founder
   XSH ns 03 23 68 · blue-variant

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
• a registry or club issued pedigree reaching further back, because the chain held here stops before a founder

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.
