Ma dee, also written Maidee

Celeste · DBE-CEL · the source records no eye colour · Genotyped

Under the variant field this directory proposes, this cat would read DBE 162p. The variant is attributed to this animal from the record rather than from a result on it. 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

1. Ma dee, also written Maidee
2. Lazuli, the sire of Ma dee, also written Maidee. genotyped DBE-CEL; a founder of this survey

That is one recorded parent link, and the animal at the end of it has a laboratory result, so what this cat could carry is not a guess about a line but a consequence of a test on a relative. Every step is a parent recorded in this register from a document; none of them is an assumption. The full genealogy is drawn below, and the sources for each animal are on its own page.

Save this cat as a PDF the connection, the genealogy and the source on one A4 landscape sheet, carrying this directory's name and address

What is flagged on this tree

1. ROXI. BREEDING RECOMMENDATIONS THE PAGE ATTRIBUTES TO PROFESSOR MARIE ABITBOL OF THE VETAGRO RESEARCH LABORATORY. THE RESEARCHER AND THE SUBJECT ARE REAL AND THIS REGISTER ALREADY HOLDS HER WORK: Abitbol and others 2024, 'Different Founding Effects Underlie Dominant Blue Eyes in the Domestic Cat', Animals 14(13):1845; Abitbol and others 2024, 'A PAX3 insertion in the Celestial breed and certain feline breeding lines with dominant blue eyes', Animal Genetics 55; Abitbol and others 2024, 'PAX3 haploinsufficiency in Maine Coon cats with dominant blue eyes and hearing loss resembling the human Waardenburg syndrome', G3; and Abitbol and others 2025, 'Dominant blue eyes in Maine Coon cats: new PAX3 variant and updated phenotypic data', Animal Genetics. BUT THE LIST OF RECOMMENDATIONS BELOW IS THE BREEDER'S RENDERING OF THEM AND THIS REGISTER HAS NOT CHECKED IT AGAINST THOSE PAPERS. A real researcher being correctly named does not make a lay summary of her advice accurate. RECORDED AS THE BREEDER STATES IT, ATTRIBUTED AS THE BREEDER ATTRIBUTES IT, AND NOT ADOPTED. WHERE THIS REGISTER NEEDS THE SCIENCE IT CITES THE PAPERS DIRECTLY. THE LIST: do not breed DBE bloodlines with colourpoint or colourpoint carriers; with cats that have white, meaning bicolour, harlequin or van; with pure white cats; with cats born from DBE marriages that are born LATENT with orange eyes; or with recessive odd eyed. AND: 'Mixing, accidentally or not, a dominant cat to another dominant cat EVEN IF LATENT, can cause severe health issues in the first or future generations and should never be done' | THE DANGERS NAMED: 'Deafness (Altai, Topaz), CRANIAL MALFORMATIONS (Ojos Azules, a breed abandoned by the LOOF and TICA in 2004 because of issues). Other things commonly seen in dominant odd eyed is a KINKED TAIL or NOSE SHAPES THAT ARE STRANGE, of form and small or not equal nostrils.' And: 'DOMINANT TO DOMINANT ALSO SEEMS TO PRODUCE KITTENS WITH A LARGE AMOUNT OF WHITE EVEN IF THE PARENTS ARE SOLID' | THAT LAST OBSERVATION BEARS DIRECTLY ON MIYUKI OF AERLIN. He is out of Kaena and Lazuli, both of dominant lines, HIS BREEDER CALLS HIM HOMOZYGOUS, and he is SOLID WHITE AND DEAF where both parents carry only a chin patch. THE PAGE PREDICTS EXACTLY THAT OUTCOME FROM EXACTLY THAT MATING, and it predicts it as a harm | THE REGISTER RECORDS THIS AS A BREEDER'S STATEMENT OF PRACTICE AND AS A HEALTH CLAIM ATTRIBUTED TO A NAMED RESEARCHER. It does not endorse it, it has not verified the attribution, and it makes no recommendation about breeding
2. ROXI. Line and variant. The line Blue Eyed Maine Coons (Markiss) holds more than one variant across its records (DBE-ALT, DBE-CEL).
3. THE UNNAMED FEMALE DRAWN AS '??'. Unnamed, AND EXPECTED TO STAY THAT WAY. The charts draw her as '??' and give her nothing else: no name, no breed, no colour, no code and no eye. She is the dam of the one DNA-genotyped DBE-CEL animal in this register and every position above her is empty. THE HOLDER OF THIS MATERIAL STATED ON 19 AUGUST 2026 THAT ONE PARENT OF LAZULI WILL ALWAYS BE UNKNOWN. She is therefore not a gap awaiting a document and is not carried on any list of pedigrees to obtain. SHE IS THE ANIMAL WHOSE ABSENCE FROM THE RECORD THIS SURVEY IS ABOUT, and the absence is now a settled fact about the record rather than an outstanding question
4. ILVY FREYJA OF PRESTON. Conflict resolved. THE CHART CARRIES BOTH MATINGS AND THE EARLIER CONFLICT WAS AN ARTEFACT OF RESOLUTION. This register recorded a conflict between messybeast.com, which gives her mated to Lazuli and producing Maidee, and a lower-resolution reading of chart C4, which appeared to give her mated to Willow and producing Lamu. AT FULL RESOLUTION, READ 18 AUGUST 2026, THE CHART DRAWS BOTH: a black line to Willow and a blue line to Lazuli. Neither source was wrong and the conflict is withdrawn
5. LAZULI. BREEDING RECOMMENDATIONS THE PAGE ATTRIBUTES TO PROFESSOR MARIE ABITBOL OF THE VETAGRO RESEARCH LABORATORY. THE RESEARCHER AND THE SUBJECT ARE REAL AND THIS REGISTER ALREADY HOLDS HER WORK: Abitbol and others 2024, 'Different Founding Effects Underlie Dominant Blue Eyes in the Domestic Cat', Animals 14(13):1845; Abitbol and others 2024, 'A PAX3 insertion in the Celestial breed and certain feline breeding lines with dominant blue eyes', Animal Genetics 55; Abitbol and others 2024, 'PAX3 haploinsufficiency in Maine Coon cats with dominant blue eyes and hearing loss resembling the human Waardenburg syndrome', G3; and Abitbol and others 2025, 'Dominant blue eyes in Maine Coon cats: new PAX3 variant and updated phenotypic data', Animal Genetics.

6. MA DEE, ALSO WRITTEN MAIDEE. Identity settled. TWO CATS OF A NEARLY IDENTICAL NAME STAND ON ONE CHART IN TWO PLACES, and the full-resolution reading of 18 August 2026 separates them. MAIDEE is drawn in this litter, out of Ilvy Freyja of Preston by Lazuli, with Matahina, Mauve and Monky, and is the cat imported to Australia. MAIDI is drawn in the Kaena litter of 18 July 2016 and is held at cel-17. The earlier conflict flag is withdrawn

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.

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.
