Thanks for all the replies, I appreciate you're input. Alana has been x - rayed and her skeletal system is completely normal. She has had kittens and I have kept two with similar tails to herself. If it's the same genes involved as the American Ringtail it's two sets of genes for the effect -...

He's stunning! I love the flashy black and whites. Tuxedo cats are still Bi - colours, just one with a specific amount of white, genetically they are the same - white spotting gene.

Thank you :)

I kept two of her stunning kittens for showing, a cinnamon classic tabby short leg boy and a cinnamon classic tabby tortie and white semi-long hair long leg female. Bubba. And Sheeba.

Possibly a new mutation found in Adelaide, Australia - This is Alana she was found as a stray behind a shopping centre in Adelaide, Australia, along with her three kittens. She has a very unique and unusual tail that is very similar to a Husky or Basenji dog. I am working with her to establish...

I know this is a vey old thread but thought I'd post in the hance the original poster might return and let us know how it all went. Also just for some fun facts on colour genetics... If any of those kittens were ginger/cream girls then you know that the ginger tom must be the father. And if any...

Very interesting studies, but the reality is that many Scottish folds live a very long normal happy life, and the variability of how they are affected is just that extremely variable. What I'm saying is that through selective breeding it could be possible to uniformly breed cast to the lowest...

Yes but with any genes there are modifier genes at play too, so although they may always carry a disability it could potentially be "watered" right down to the point where it does not affect them much if anything at all.

Ethical breeders are only breeding from the least affected and heathiest of cats, this selective breeding will in itself breed in favour of a healthy pain free cat. The problem is homozygous (double factor folds) and poorly selected heterozygous (single factor) folds. It's easy to target one...

Marmalade is expecting! She is due in 2 weeks time. Dad is a stunning solid Choc boy.
