Oh my gosh..such a nice fur! Congratulations!

Confession: I have zoomed this way in, and have almost convinced myself that I can see it's a chimera. But if the name weren't "chimera" I don't think I ever would have picked up on it. Maybe it's my monitor or too many hours staring at a computer for work.

The shaded side of the face contrast is more subtle on this fur than on the other chimeras. But you can see it better on an actual cat.

These pics were taken using CalWL. Both cats are natural shade.

Here is another shot of the Chimera - Seal Point Mink that better shows the chimera contrasts. Also taken in CalWl

I believe these pedigrees show Chimera Seal Point rec to Austrailian Blue Marble.

Indeed they do.
Reposting Flairs pedigrees inline for ease

So in the first pedigree we see Freddy, the starter and Orlina a Blue Marble have a Blue Marble meaning Freddy hides Blue Marble or more recessive.


In pedigree 2 Freddy and Orlina breed again and this time the Baby is a Chimera - Seal Point Mink. This must be Freddys hidden as Orlina can't hide it, her birth predates its release.
Therefore Orlina must have passed her unknown hid (Tiger - Dusky Green is dominant to Australian Mist - Blue Marble so that cat passed an unknown hid)


Therefore Chimera - Seal Point Mink is recessive to Australian Mist - Blue Marble.

Flair does Orlinas pedigree shed any light on what she might hide? Or would you be willing to find out if you don't already know as it will put a range on the fur

Fire pulled with his pure Toyger - Caramel line so we already have a good indication, Fire is pulling the his on his cat to provide us with the Toyger - Caramel proof.

Diego was kind enough to share Patricks pedigree with me so it looks like Flair pulled the Seal Point Mink with Ocicat - Platinum, the most likely hid passed from Patrick to Orlina

Okay, this just in! Proof that the Chimera - Seal Point Mink is dominant to Toyger - Caramel! Arwen loaned me one of her kitties as a tester. The first baby gave back the hidden Toyger- Caramel. It is a really cute baby!

Congrats! Gorgeous fur!

Yesterday I got the Toyger - blue instead of the Chimera Seal Point Mink. This couple gave me a toyger snow before, probably hiding from mom.
I'll have to breed him out and see if he is hiding the seal point mink or again the toyger snow
