Violet eyes recessiveness -- Violet is placed!

[Ivy Norsk]

Violet is dom to Tap Organica.
This is a long-winded proof because it takes a lot of screen shots: Basically I ran a violet-eyed cat (Violetta) against a cat that I know to be TapOrg pure (Rumor). the first screen shot shows you the immediate baby, which shows Violet eyes. And the first part of the proof is simply: Violet shows, and the baby Cannot hide anything but TapOrg, ergo Violet is dom to TapOrg. The more complicated part of the proof is therefore showing that Rumor is indeed Tap Org pure.



Now I need to take you all the way through Rumor’s family tree when his line was first set up.

BersulesPedigree shows the first cats.



With Bersules you see the creation of the first charcoal bengal of the line. Clarissa is the matriarch - she shows the Double Dip Flora that shows on a lot of the cats of this line. (It doesn’t matter what she’s hiding, since she passes the DDFlora.) Boris shows Fancie Blue Diamond and hides something more rec (which we will show is TapOrg coming from Merrio). It is important to see that Boris is the source of the hidden. While Merrio may have had something hiding under his TapOrg, he can only have passed one eye to Boris.

SolveigPedigree shows the first cats.



Selucina is ALSO a Clarissa/Boris child. Like Bersules she shows the ddFlora, and hiding either FancieBlue or something more rec. The sibling breed of Bersules and Selucina produces Tarascon who shows ddFlora and hides either ddFlora or Boris’ hidden - but we can also see here that doing a backbreed with Tarascon to his mother reveals the hidden which is the TapOrganica and Solveig has it pure.

RumorPedigree takes us down the father of our Violet-eyed kitten.



Solveig we can see is showing the TapOrg and it is pure. Solveig is then backbred to her father (which was done to get the swanky whiskers). Tarascon’s hidden has to also be TapOrg since his hidden eye came from Boris. They produce Lonnell, who has the TapOrg pure from both parents. Solveig and Lonnell produce Rumor who has the TapOrg pure.

This brings us back to our new kitten. There she is. Refer back to her pedigree which I put into the first screenshot.

Ergo… Violet eye is dominant to Tapestry Organica. There is no other eye she can be hiding.

Incidently, Tapestry Allure is dominant to Morning Dew. It really is. But my proof would run exactly the same way: baby is showing TapAllure and can't hide anything else except Morning Dew because the Dad is Morning Dew pure. However, I've been running that line for a year and a half pure and the number of screen shots it would take to establish proof of purity is more than I want to wade through. So we'll have to wait until a TapAllure couple pops Morning Dew out from underneath on that one.
