King Pride Q-Bert

prefix King Pride · British Shorthair · line: Igor · one blue eye · Published line, tested against the known variants and carrying none

Under the variant field this directory proposes, this cat would read DBE 161 x1p. A carrier of a variant nobody has sequenced, on a line this proposal gives a suffix to. 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, Igor, which is a source's attribution and not a descent this register can walk.

What the pedigree implies

POSSIBLE CARRIER BY DESCENT. the Igor line, no variant identified, through Cream-Rocky from Sham, Credo Kitty Katia, Credo Princess Pollina

This is computed from the recorded parentage each time this site is built and is not typed into the register. It is a deduction from the trait being dominant, not a statement by any source, and it is not the same thing as the record's own status field. Only a laboratory settles it for an individual. The full list is on latent lines.

What is flagged on this tree

1. PURRINGPOEMS ODELYA. A WHITE-PATTERN ODD EYE ON THE SAME PEDIGREE AS A TWO-LINE CROSS. Recorded as an alternative explanation that the documents do not resolve, and not dismissed
2. KING PRIDE UMKA. AN UNCODED SIRE WITH TWO UNUSUAL-EYED OFFSPRING BY TWO DIFFERENT DAMS. KING PRIDE UMKA IS BSH c 03 AND CARRIES NO EYE CODE. By KING PRIDE YASMIN he gives KING PRIDE Q-BERT, BSH e 02 63, ODD EYED. By KING PRIDE ANABELL he gives KING PRIDE ELVIS, CINNAMON VAN WITH BLUE EYES in the cattery's own words. TWO DAMS, TWO LITTERS, TWO ANIMALS WITH EYES THE SIRE DOES NOT SHOW | NEITHER OFFSPRING IS EVIDENCE AND THE PATTERN IS RECORDED ANYWAY. Q-Bert is 02, a harlequin, and Elvis is a van. BOTH CARRY HIGH WHITE, so an ordinary explanation of a pale eye is available in each and this register counts neither as showing a variant. What is recorded is the SIRE'S PATTERN, because an uncoded cat standing behind an odd eye and a blue eye out of two different dams is the shape a latent line takes | ELVIS IS FILED BLUE-OTHER-CAUSE ON PRECEDENT. A cinnamon van with blue eyes is the same animal, colour for colour and pattern for pattern, as DREAMS OF HEAVEN ICE CRYSTAL, BSH o 01 61, which this register already files that way | THE ONE DEDUCTION THE PAGE ALLOWS. Umka is LILAC, which is dilute chocolate, and his son is CINNAMON, which is neither dilute nor chocolate. A cinnamon kitten needs cinnamon from both parents and non-dilute from one, and the sire is dilute, SO UMKA CARRIED CINNAMON UNSEEN AND THE DAM SUPPLIED THE NON-DILUTE

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

• Parents: King Pride Umka, King Pride Yasmin

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.
