Caspian Black Hole

Domestic shorthair · line: Aktau / Caspian · one blue eye · Variant not known

Under the variant field this directory proposes, this cat would read DBE 161p. A carrier of a variant nobody has sequenced, on no named line. This is the group bare 161 exists for. The proposal is set out in full here, and no registry issues this field today: it is computed from the record at each build and is not part of any registration.

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 the line recorded on it, Aktau / Caspian, which is a source's attribution and not a descent this register can walk; and 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.

GENEALOGY C16, the Meowrigi cattery chart headed SPREAD OF THE BARNAUL AND AKTAU DBE GENES, breeder-compiled, image supplied 27 August 2026; together with the messybeast.com section BARNAUL AND AKTAU DBE, text supplied with it. The chart draws eye state on every animal by icon and states the destination cattery, breed and country for each cat placed outside the programme. THE FOUNDER OF THE AKTAU MUTATION, so labelled on the chart. Neither the Aktau nor the Barnaul variant has been identified molecularly and no test exists for either

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.
