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 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.

What is flagged

1. EPICA WINTROSE. THIRTY ANCESTORS, TWELVE CODED EYES, AND EVERY ONE OF THE TWELVE CARRIES 01, 02 OR 03. THIS IS THE CONTROL FOR BRITISH GEMS STITCH AND IT COMES FROM STITCH'S OWN CATTERY. The coded cats are Epica Wintrose BSH f 01 63, Eragon Winterose BSH c 01 63, Uma Cinni Viridian BSH o 01 63, Elisa Surica BriLG BSH ns 01 21 63, Grayson Rainbow Fire BSH a 02 63, A Seventh Heaven von Grigoleit BSH d 02 63, One Wish Cassia Turiana BSH b 02 63, Cukyluky Viridian BSH b 02 63, Monika Brilliant Field BSH f 02 62, Gudvangen's Unique Baby BSH fs 02 21 62 and Rivium's Happy Dream Girl BSH r 03 63. TEN 63s, TWO 62s, NOT ONE 68, NOT ONE 69 AND NOT ONE 61 | AND NOT ONE CODED CAT ON THE SHEET IS WITHOUT WHITE. Every animal the registry troubled to give an eye code carries van, harlequin or bicolour white, and two of them carry a colourpoint as well. THE UNCODED ANIMALS ARE THE ONES WITHOUT WHITE. That is the classic white spotting gene doing exactly what the holder of this register said it does, demonstrated across a complete thirty-ancestor pedigree | BRITISH GEMS STITCH IS THE EXCEPTION TO IT. He is BSH d 69, RED, with no white symbol in the code, no 01, 02, 03, 08 or 09 and no 33. Same cattery, same registry, and the only cat of the prefix carrying a dominant eye code is also the only coded cat of the prefix carrying no white. THE CONTRAST IS NOW DOCUMENTED ON TWO COMPLETE SHEETS AND A CATTERY LISTING

A flag is not an error. It marks a place where two sources say different things, or where an attribution cannot be made on the evidence held.

In the register

• Offspring recorded in this register; a cat may have others: Percy von Blumenland

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.
