This board is mainly for if your character is having a litter and you want to make sure the kits have realistic colors and patterns.
How this works:
- You post a thread giving the colors and patterns of the parents of the litter. (For example: the mother is a red tabby shorthair with low white, and the father is a black smoke longhair.)
- You can post a photo of a cat that looks like the character, if you aren't sure what to call its color/pattern.
- A site geneticistwill reply to the post giving the most likely possible colors/patterns/etc. of the kits.
- If you want more options for a litter, just let us know and we can revise it.
Other things you can do on this board:
- If you want to know what a character's parents could look like, we can do that too
- I'm not much of a teacher but if anyone wants to learn genetics I can make a training thread and give it a try
- if you have any other questions, comments, discussions about cat or other animal genetics they can probably go here
Also, don't worry that you're taking up the geneticists' time by requesting genetics. Trust me, doing this is fun to us.
