		Genetic testing will allow breeders to correctly identify the color of their cats, preventing misassignment of color class and reducing the need for test crossing.
		Cats that are bbl are very rare, thus some tone in color could be noticed, but this needs to be supported by genetic testing.
		Cats that are cbcs are intermediate between cbcb and cscs in color and difines the mink Tonkinese.

	GENETICS I, Fall 1994, Heather E
		Cats kept as pets have a relatively easy life, and undoubtedly are more likely to live to reproduce than a wild cat or a street cat.
		In cats that are also silver the reference to a dark shade often completely disappears but the fl is still there in the eyeliner and nose rims in shaded silvers and chinchillas.
		Since red color is not genetically related to fl, chocolate, and cinnamon, and it's inheritance is dependent on the sex of the cat, I'll devote a "red" section just to it.

		Cats, however, have done so for a much shorter time than almost all other domesticated animals, and the degree of domestication of cats is somewhat disputed.
		The domestic cat is now considered a subspecies of the wild cat: by the strict rule of priority of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature the name for the species thus ought to be ´´F. catus´´ since Linnaeus published first.

	Cat Fanciers: Color Genetics
		Many people have expressed confusion over the names that cat fanciers apply to the coat colors and patterns, so this article has been written to help explain the names given to the possible colors and patterns, and why these names are applied.
		People who have cats with just small patches of tabby markings on the head and tail and white everywhere else tend to think of them as white cats, but they are really tabbies all over.
		Cats that are homozygous (S/S) tend to have more white area than cats that are heterozygous (S/s) for white spotting, but there are other modifying genes that can affect the degree of white spotting.

	CAT COAT COLOR TESTS
		Dominant white cats are all white, may have blue eyes or be odd-eyed and may be deaf.
		The Veterinary Genetics Laboratory was established in the 1950's and is world-renowned for DNA parentage analysis, disease and diagnostic testing.
		Testing for coat color can be performed as early as 2 weeks of age depending on the size of the kitten and ability to insert swab into mouth.

	Cat Coat Genetics
		A fl cat with the white spotting gene, giving it a white 'shirtfront' and 'socks' is often referred to as a tuxedo cat, or sometimes a jellicle cat.
		For a cat to be tortoiseshell (random mottled patches of fl and orange or blue and cream) or tortie, it must simultaneously express two alleles, O and o, which are located on the X chromosome.
		A calico cat is a tortoiseshell or patched tabby cat with the white spotting gene, showing a large amount of (mostly) white, with spots of fl and orange or blue and cream, depending on whether the cat has the dense or dilute gene.

		Thus in a tabby cat the hairs in the fl parts where the tabby pattern shows through are eumelanin throughout, whereas in the other areas the typical agouti ticking is seen.
		As with cats there are doubts in the dog world over the precise nature of the alleles of this gene and their interactions.
		Cats exhibiting extensive white spotting are more likely to suffer from deafness than non-white cats.
