Quatis Ermine Trace

prefix Ermine Trace · British Shorthair · line: Nadeya · both eyes blue · Variant known, this cat untested

Under the variant field this directory proposes, this cat would read no field at all, which the scheme calls unknown. Two causes of a pale eye stand on one record and nothing separates them. The scheme leaves this cat unknown rather than coding it either way. 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, Nadeya, which is a source's attribution and not a descent this register can walk; and a variant a source attributes to it, DBE-ALT, which this survey does not adopt; 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.

More than one variant could be present in this cat

DBE-ALT and Nadeya, unidentified. MORE THAN ONE VARIANT COULD BE PRESENT IN THIS CAT: DBE-ALT, Nadeya, unidentified. It is not established that any of them is, and it is not established that two are. A dominant allele comes from a parent, and this cat's recorded ancestry carries an attribution of each. A CAT HOLDING TWO IS A COMPOUND HETEROZYGOTE, which this survey records as the state associated with deaf and dead kittens, and NOTHING BUT A TEST DISTINGUISHES ONE FROM TWO.

Computed from the recorded parentage at every build, counting both the variants this survey adopts and the ones it records a source claiming and does not adopt. IT IS AN UPPER BOUND AND NOT A FINDING: it says what could be here, never what is.

What is flagged

1. QUATIS ERMINE TRACE. LITTERMATES, BOTH CODED 68, WITH THE DAM SIDE SILENT. QUATIS ERMINE TRACE, BSH as 09 11 33 68, AND QUILA ERMINE TRACE, BSH as 09 11 68, are both given 27 July 2022 out of ERMINE TRACE BARKHAT, BSH as 09 11 33 68, and BOON LORA, BLH ny 11. THE DAM CARRIES NO EYE CODE AND NEITHER DOES ANY OF THE FOURTEEN ANIMALS RECORDED ABOVE HER: Gentle Fuzzies Golden Nigel, Boon Boo, the Lemurcat cats and the Boon cats are all silent. The sire runs to ERMINE TRACE LAZURIT, BSH ns 09 12 33 67, and so to ERMINE TRACE NADEYA, BSH ns 09 11 68. ONE SOURCE, TWO 68 KITTENS, NO SECOND LINE AVAILABLE | THE DAM IS A BRITISH LONGHAIR AND THE KITTENS ARE REGISTERED BRITISH SHORTHAIR. This is one of the routes by which the line moves between breeds inside a single cattery

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

• Littermates (ermine-trace-2022-07-27): Quila Ermine Trace

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.
