Breeding Menagerie Tigers & Fancies ~ - MsMagick Resident - 04-03-2015 01:25 PM

I know the furs don't pass, but are Menagerie Tigers guaranteed to be hiding Blush Quartz or Jade eyes? What about the other tiger traits?

Likewise, are Fancies guaranteed to be hiding the Fancie eyes?

Or is that way too much to hope for?

Hi,

Tigers are not guaranteed to hide any of the tiger traits.

Thanks! That is a great help! Kitty Curious just confirmed that for me as well.

She also said the Fancies *do* hide the costume eyes.

They do indeed !

Then, how does one get the Tiger traits to pass along? Do they just show up randomly in regular cats?

Hi !

Some Tigers do hide the "tiger traits" : Jade, Blush Quartz eyes , Tiger Curl tail & Wild Tiger ear.
That's how they are passed to other cats, through breeding.

Thanks, Hikari. That's what I thought after the above, but I wasn't sure.

So basically, the tiger traits come from Menagerie Tigers, who MAY hide them, but the Tigers aren't GUARANTEED to be hiding anything. Right?

I originally asked because I thought my Tiger would at least be hiding the eyes, and then was VERY confused by a kitten. Now I am certain that he's hiding 18 Carat Gold eyes.

(I got Nala, my teacup Tigre Le Blanc, when she was well past breeding age, so this is my first time actually breeding a Menagerie Tiger... as well as my first time crashing around our garden on the back of a Mega. Smile )

Thanks, so much for your help!

That's 100% correct. Smile

Yay! I got it! (Although I'd rather have Blush Quartz eyes. :-) )

Thanks again for all your help! There is so much to learn, but I like to think that I'm getting there, and it's a huge help to have good folks around to ask.
