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

BRITISH GEMS AMÉRICO. A CAVEAT THIS REGISTER OWES ITS OWN COAT TEST, ADDED 25 AUGUST 2026. The test reads an EMS code and reports what the code does not contain. IT CANNOT SEE A LOCKET. British Gems Stitch is coded BSH d 69 with no white symbol at all and is described by his breeder as solid, AND PHOTOGRAPHS OF HIM SHOW A WHITE CHIN AND CHEST PATCH. A minimal white marking is routinely left off a code. THE TEST IS THEREFORE A TEST OF WHAT IS RECORDED AND NOT OF WHAT IS THERE. It remains sound for its purpose, because the white that pales an eye is white ON THE HEAD, and a cat carrying enough white to cover an orbit is not coded blank by any registry. But the register should say NO WHITE RECORDED rather than NO WHITE, and where a photograph exists it should be looked at

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.

the PawPeds cattery listing for the British Gems prefix, supplied 25 August 2026. A REGISTRY-DERIVED LIST giving name, sex, EMS code, date of birth and a country pair, AND NO PARENTS AND NO PEDIGREE. TWENTY-EIGHT ANIMALS, of which NINE carry an eye code

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.
