King Pride Mikado

British Shorthair · one blue eye · No variant and no line attributed · also in its ancestry: Blue Eyed Maine Coons (Markiss), DBE-ALT, Igor, Seymour, Seymour, by the from Sham cattery's own chart, Topaz foundation (C6 and C11)

Under the variant field this directory proposes, this cat would read DBE 161 x1|163p. A carrier with no result of its own standing below an identified variant AND below a line nobody has sequenced. TWO DETERMINANTS STAND ABOVE THIS CAT AND THE SCHEME NAMES BOTH RATHER THAN CHOOSING. Where one of them is a line nobody has sequenced, NO TEST NOW AVAILABLE RESOLVES THE FIELD: a clear result on the identified variant leaves the other standing. 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. King Pride Mikado, BSH h 69
2. King Pride Kim, BSH d 03 61, the sire of King Pride Mikado
3. Heavenly Eyes Benjamin from Sham, BSH bs 68, the sire of King Pride Kim
4. Cupcake Cinnamon Superqueen, BRL bs, the sire of Heavenly Eyes Benjamin from Sham
5. Aurora Superqueen, BRI F2, bs 61, the dam of Cupcake Cinnamon Superqueen
6. Nikita'l Daisy, BRI F1, ns 61, the dam of Aurora Superqueen
7. Nikita'l Seymour, XSH ns 03 23 68, the sire of Nikita'l Daisy. DBE-ALT, adopted by this survey; a founder of this survey

That is 6 recorded parent links, and the animal at the end of it carries a variant this survey has adopted, but has not itself been tested. 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.

More than one variant could be present in this cat

DBE-ALT and Igor, unidentified. MORE THAN ONE VARIANT COULD BE PRESENT IN THIS CAT: DBE-ALT, Igor, 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. The attributions above it are on Arischa from Sham, Aurora Superqueen, Australian Bingo, Cappuccino from Sham, Choco Boss from Sham, Clarida's Samba, Cream-Rocky from Sham, Crystal Flame's Yogi Bear of Tender Paws, Cupcake Cinnamon Superqueen, Daisy from Sham, Djursviks Cosmo, Golan Castle Esponjita of Tender Paws, Golan Cleo-Harmony, Golan Hermony-Rosy, Golan Lenny-Ollie, Golan Lily-Lynn, Harrison of Ballyhara of Golan, Hummelchen from Sham, Katrin's & Capriz Ventura Ice, King Cristal-Cleo of Tender Paws, King Pride Dior, King Pride Kim, King Pride Lady Tiffany, Know How vom Grutholz, Lady Cosima von der Clarida, Lauma Jarzebinowe Uroczyko, Lord Shakespear Blue vom Wernerwald, Mary Lu from Sham, May Rose von Luanda, Mirabella from Sham, Morris De Chat Au Bijou, Nashville von der Clarida, Nikita'l Daisy, Nikita'l Seymour, Ollie B Bommel of Daisy's Home, Pierce Brosnan from Sham, Pretty Woman from Sham, Quintesence vom Grutholz, Rivium's Nina Ricci, Rosett from Sham, Sultan Joufflu, Tender Paws Freya, Tender Paws Michelangelo of King Pride, Vanilla Cleo of King Pride. 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 on this tree

1. HANTER OF GREAT FATE. THE CATTERY WRITES 61 ON THREE CONSECUTIVE GENERATIONS AND CALLS IT THE ALT GENE EACH TIME. The descent on its own published page runs SEYMOUR, black-silver-tabby, ns 23 61, 'ALT Gen, blaue Augen'; to NIKITAL DAISY, BRI F1, ns 61, 'ALT Gen, blaue Augen'; to AURORA SUPERQUEEN, BRI F2, bs 61, 'ALT Gen, blaue Augen'; to CUPCAKE CINNAMON SUPERQUEEN, BRL (F3), 'ODD EYED (DOMINANT)', chocolate smoke. THAT IS A BREEDER USING 61 FOR WHAT PAWPEDS WRITES 68, AND SAYING SO IN WORDS | WHAT IT SETTLES. This register has held the 61 against 68 difference as an unexplained inconsistency between sources, on Yoshiki Ermine Trace, on British Gems Alora and elsewhere. THE FROM SHAM PAGE SHOWS ONE CAUSE OF IT DIRECTLY: a cattery writing 61, the ordinary blue-eye code, on animals it states carry a named dominant variant. EVERY 61 IN THIS REGISTER ON A COAT WITHOUT WHITE IS THEREFORE A CANDIDATE 68, and the register's counts drawn from 68 and 69 alone understate | IT ALSO RESOLVES THE CUPCAKE CODE CONFLICT. His own PawPeds sheet gives BLH bs with NO eye code. The PawPeds cattery listing gives BSH bs 69. THE CATTERY'S OWN PAGE GIVES BRL, WHICH IS BRITISH LONGHAIR AND SO AGREES WITH THE SHEET ON BREED, AND 'ODD EYED (DOMINANT)', WHICH AGREES WITH THE LISTING ON THE EYE. Two of three on each point. The register adopts British Longhair and a dominant odd eye | AND IT FILLS A PEDIGREE PAWPEDS RETURNED EMPTY. Cupcake's own PawPeds sheet returned ZERO ancestors of thirty, every cell blank. THIS PAGE GIVES FOUR GENERATIONS. The Superqueen origin question is now answered as far as any document goes: THE LINE RUNS TO SEYMOUR THROUGH NIKITA'L DAISY AND AURORA SUPERQUEEN, AND IT STOPS AT SILVA, whose parents the cattery itself prints as '??????? @Mail ru' | THE F NUMBERS ARE A BREEDING PROGRAMME WRITTEN DOWN. F1 Daisy, F2 Aurora, F3 Cupcake. Each generation is bred back to an unrelated from Sham or Great Fate cat and the eye is kept. THAT IS DELIBERATE INTROGRESSION OF A VARIANT INTO A BREED, recorded by the breeder in the ordinary course of publishing a pedigree
2. AURORA SUPERQUEEN. A LEAD THAT QUALIFIES A CONCLUSION THIS REGISTER HAD ALREADY DRAWN. The holder of this register states that the DREAMS OF HEAVEN DOMINANT BLUE EYE CATS TRACE TO HOLMS SUPER QUEEN, IMPORT RUSSIA | WHAT THIS REGISTER WROTE BEFORE, AND WHY IT NEEDS QUALIFYING. Of that prefix it wrote: 'EVERY CODED CAT IN THIS PREFIX CARRIES HIGH WHITE, AND UNDER THIS REGISTER'S RULE THAT MEANS NONE OF THEM IS EVIDENCE.' THAT IS TRUE ABOUT EVIDENCE AND IT WAS WRITTEN AS THOUGH IT SETTLED WHAT THE CATS ARE. IT DOES NOT. THE COAT RULE GOVERNS HOW AN UNTESTED CAT IS READ, NOT WHAT IT CARRIES. A van coded 61 has an ordinary explanation available, so it cannot be used AS EVIDENCE of a variant; IT CAN STILL CARRY ONE, and if it descends from an imported cat of a line that carries one, it may well do. This is the same distinction BelleAyr O'Blue Pearl forced, where a genotype overrode an appearance the rule would have read the other way | AND THE 61 IS SUSPECT ON ITS OWN TERMS. The from Sham cattery's published pedigree writes 61 on three consecutive generations and annotates every one 'ALT Gen, blaue Augen'. SUPERQUEEN IS THAT SAME BODY OF MATERIAL: AURORA SUPERQUEEN APPEARS ON THAT VERY PAGE AS 'BRI F2, bs 61, ALT Gen, blaue Augen'. A 61 on a Dreams of Heaven cat descending from a Superqueen import MAY BE THE SAME USAGE, and Dreams of Heaven Ice Crystal and Dreams of Heaven Z-Storm are both coded 61 | THE STATUSES ARE NOT CHANGED AND THE REASON IS DELIBERATE. Ice Crystal is a van, Mystic Eyes a harlequin and Z-Storm a van AND a colourpoint. The white and the point remain sufficient explanations of their eyes, so as EVIDENCE they stay where they were, in blue-other-cause. WHAT CHANGES IS THAT THE REGISTER NO LONGER SAYS OR IMPLIES THAT NOTHING IS THERE | WHAT WOULD SETTLE IT. A pedigree for any one of the three showing the descent, and a genotype on any Dreams of Heaven cat. THE PREFIX SHOULD NOT BE TREATED AS CLOSED
3. AURORA SUPERQUEEN. Eye and coat, THE STRONGEST EXCLUSION THIS REGISTER CAN MAKE FROM A CODE. This cat is blue-eyed in both eyes and its recorded coat carries NO WHITE SPOTTING CODE AT ALL, is not dominant white and is not colourpointed. NOTHING IN THE COAT CAN PALE AN IRIS. A dominant blue eye is present and it is not the KIT odd-eye case and not the white-cat case. Its registry has entered no dominant eye code on it. WHICH VARIANT IS NOT DEDUCIBLE FROM A COAT CODE and none is adopted: a genotype or a trace to a named founder would name it.
4. 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
5. CUPCAKE CINNAMON SUPERQUEEN. A LEAD THAT QUALIFIES A CONCLUSION THIS REGISTER HAD ALREADY DRAWN. The holder of this register states that the DREAMS OF HEAVEN DOMINANT BLUE EYE CATS TRACE TO HOLMS SUPER QUEEN, IMPORT RUSSIA | WHAT THIS REGISTER WROTE BEFORE, AND WHY IT NEEDS QUALIFYING.

6. HEAVENLY EYES BENJAMIN FROM SHAM, GIVEN ON THE LISTING AS HEAVENTY. THE CATTERY WRITES 61 ON THREE CONSECUTIVE GENERATIONS AND CALLS IT THE ALT GENE EACH TIME. The descent on its own published page runs SEYMOUR, black-silver-tabby, ns 23 61, 'ALT Gen, blaue Augen'; to NIKITAL DAISY, BRI F1, ns 61, 'ALT Gen, blaue Augen'; to AURORA SUPERQUEEN, BRI F2, bs 61, 'ALT Gen, blaue Augen'; to CUPCAKE CINNAMON SUPERQUEEN, BRL (F3), 'ODD EYED (DOMINANT)', chocolate smoke.

The Superqueen origin question is now answered as far as any document goes: THE LINE RUNS TO SEYMOUR THROUGH NIKITA'L DAISY AND AURORA SUPERQUEEN, AND IT STOPS AT SILVA, whose parents the cattery itself prints as '??????? @Mail ru' | THE F NUMBERS ARE A BREEDING PROGRAMME WRITTEN DOWN.

7. KING PRIDE KIM. THE CATTERY WRITES 61 ON THREE CONSECUTIVE GENERATIONS AND CALLS IT THE ALT GENE EACH TIME. The descent on its own published page runs SEYMOUR, black-silver-tabby, ns 23 61, 'ALT Gen, blaue Augen'; to NIKITAL DAISY, BRI F1, ns 61, 'ALT Gen, blaue Augen'; to AURORA SUPERQUEEN, BRI F2, bs 61, 'ALT Gen, blaue Augen'; to CUPCAKE CINNAMON SUPERQUEEN, BRL (F3), 'ODD EYED (DOMINANT)', chocolate smoke.

THAT IS DELIBERATE INTROGRESSION OF A VARIANT INTO A BREED, recorded by the breeder in the ordinary course of publishing a pedigree
8. KING PRIDE KIM. Eye and coat, A DETERMINATION AND NOT A QUERY. This cat is blue-eyed in both eyes, carries a bicolour or locket white code, is not dominant white and is not colourpointed. THE CLASSIC WHITE SPOTTING GENE COVERS AN EYE WHERE THE WHITE HAPPENS TO FALL, WHICH GIVES AN ODD EYE AND NOT TWO BLUE ONES, so the coat does not account for this and a dominant blue eye is present in the line. IT IS NOT THE KIT ODD-EYE CASE. Its registry has entered no dominant eye code on it. WHICH VARIANT IS NOT DEDUCIBLE FROM A COAT CODE and none is adopted.
9. KING PRIDE MIKADO. A BREEDER SETTING OUT, IN HER OWN WORDS, THE WHOLE DISTINCTION THIS REGISTER WORKS TO. THE PAGE SEPARATES TWO THINGS. RECESSIVE ODD EYE: autosomal recessive, THE GENE MUST COME FROM BOTH PARENTS, associated with S piebald white spotting, carried silently for generations, NO HEARING PROBLEMS because it has nothing to do with the pure white gene, and recognised by FIFe for normal bicolour since 2019 and by LOOF and WCF. DOMINANT ODD EYE: ONE PARENT ONLY, a cat with 'minimal white variegation, a small white spot of a size of a hazelnut to a coffee saucer, and two intense blue eyes, odd, OR POLYCHROMIC, OR LATENT, non-expression of blue eyes but still carrier-dominant'. THAT IS EVERY CATEGORY THIS REGISTER USES, WRITTEN OUT BY A BREEDER | 'LATELY DOMINANT ARE GETTING LESS AND LESS WHITE, SOMETIMES NO WHITE IS VISIBLE ANYMORE.' That is the direct explanation of what this register has been seeing on British Gems Stitch, British Gems Alora, King Pride Mikado and the SoloMiya cats: coded animals with a locket or nothing, where the older material carries 01, 02 and 03 | 'DBE KITTENS IN SOLID COLORS WITH POSSIBILITY OF A LOCKET, A WHITE SPOT THAT IS A TRAITMARK OF THE GENES, OFTEN LOCATED IN THE NECK, ON THE TOES OR FACE.' The locket is not an accident that the code fails to record. THE BREEDER CALLS IT A MARK OF THE VARIANT ITSELF | AND IT NAMES THE PROBLEM THIS REGISTER KEEPS RUNNING INTO. 'SINCE THERE IS NO EMS CODE FOR THESE CATS, IT IS NOT VISIBLE IN PEDIGREE AND MISTAKES CAN EASILY HAPPEN.' Also: 'Solid odd eyed is not yet registered and will get RIEX experimental pedigree.' THAT IS WHY 61 IS BEING WRITTEN WHERE 68 IS MEANT, and why the coded cats of these catteries are absent from the registry listings | THE SOURCE OF THE DOMINANT IS NAMED. 'To obtain these genes and eye color it is necessary that the pedigree cat is crossed with an ALTAI, OJOS AZULES OR TOPAZ cat, THESE ARE THE LINES THAT EXIST IN DOMINANT. The first blue-eyed cats were discovered among stray cats in KAZAKHSTAN'S ALTAY REGION IN THE 1990s.' THAT PARAGRAPH IS THE BREEDER RESTATING WHAT THE PUBLISHED WORK ALREADY ESTABLISHES, not an independent confirmation of it. Abitbol and others 2024 report FOUR VARIANTS AND MULTIPLE UNMAPPED LINES, and this register holds that paper. THE PAGE'S VALUE IS AS EVIDENCE OF WHAT BREEDERS UNDERSTAND AND REPEAT, which is a different and also useful thing

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.
