If anybody's interested in getting their cats' DNA sequenced, Darwin's Ark has a donor giving 5x matching. $25 instead of usual $150 with code SCIENCEGIFT-25

Sorry dog owners they're not accepting dog samples ATM

Can anyone with #catcolours #catcolors #catgenetics experience chime in?
I have some very strange and interesting kittens!
(Found in a hole at 4wks old, from feral cat colony)
@datgreenmonstah.bsky.social You taught me about the Siamese white hairs thing after illness! Check out these lil kids!
- Both kittens had a respiratory virus when I found them
A month later, both are growing grey hairs.
So the cool colours might be same thing as Miralka, and sadly not permanent..

Genetics play a role! The "B" gene dictates their black coat via eumelanin pigment. 🧬 Most black cats are male due to X chromosome genetics. ♂️ #CatGenetics #Science #AnimalFacts
Multiple photos of an oriental shorthair kitten with distinctive black markings. He is standing on his back legs and playing with a toy in two of the photos. Text reads "Brandi Trondson's "Mystery Boy" aged 10.5 weeks. Father is an ebony silver classic tabby. Mum is seal silver lynx point. Mystery Boy has a mix of silver spotted tabby on his hind leg and just in front of his tail, plus a tabby forehead with distinct patches above each eye and a distinct tabby lines between the two patches. He also has an unusual white "necklaces" although he does not have the white spotting gene. The mix of tabby areas and non-tabby areas suggest he is an agouti-nonagouti chimera."

London, Day 3. Buddy is trying to focus on his lineage. Walter is trying to get kicked out of the palace.

The mystery of orange cats is finally solved after 60 years! 🐾🍊 Scientists reveal how an X-linked gene shapes their fiery color—and why most are male. The genetics of your feline friends keeps surprising us. 🧬🐱 #Science #CatGenetics #OrangeCats www.sciencealert.com/the-secret-o...
Scientists have discovered the gene responsible for orange fur in cats, linked to the Arhgap36 gene on the X chromosome. This finding sheds light on the genetic basis of color variation in tortoiseshell and calico cats. #CatGenetics
