New Fur: Chimera - Washed Tortie

[Arwen Swordthain]

For info, am unpacking to check hid. Repairing parents as well.

Was doing an eye test and realised I actually got a fur proof
Recessive to Bengal - Charcoal



Mairead hides Chimera - Washed Tortie


Frewen hides Bengal - Charcoal

Recessive to Ocicat - Blue



Proof Mairead hides Chimera - Washed Tortie is in the previous post.

It looks to me like Tonkinese Lilac Tortie is recessive to Chimera Washed Tortie.

It certainly is, thank you for the proof

Here's a proof from Claudette Loire: Chimera - Washed Tortie is dominant to Tiger! - Dusky Green.

Here's a Chimera Washed Tortie pulled from a starter with Tiger Dusky Green.

ChimWashedTortie>TigerDuskyGreen1

But was it REALLY pulled by the Tiger Dusky Green? Or was it REALLY pulled by whatever fur the Tiger Dusky Green is hiding?

And Claudette says to me "The Dusky Green is pure."
And I start with all my speeches which a lot of people have heard me give: "Oh proofs from purity are really hard. Oh it's often easier to pull the hidden on the kitten."
And Claudette says "Here, I'm passing you the boy. You look. He's pure."
So Oberon is over on my land having a sleepover party with my cats. And I'm looking at his pedigree. And what I see is a sea of Russian Whites - even more than what I'm showing you.

ChimWashedTortie>TigerDuskyGreen2

And popping out from under Seraphina and Aegelmaere's shown furs, is a Tiger Dusky Blue. This is obviously a double-recessive throw. Okay, so what's under the Dusky Blue?... Claudette did a backbreed. Kharmen throws hidden - gotten from Aegelmaere - and Aegelmaere throws hidden. [As a thought experiment, try what happens if Aegelmaere hides the Dusky Blue... you'll see it doesn't work out at the pull stage. We'd see Dusky Blue not Dusky Green.]

Voila, the cat is pure Tiger Dusky Green. Just as she said.
Mind you, Claudette knew her cats. I would not have known which was hiding Dusky Blue and which Dusky Green or in which direction the backbreed should go. But when all is said and pulled, she did end up creating a pure Green.

So yes, Chimera Washed Tortie is dominant to Tiger Dusky Green

I love when we get nerdy proofs like this! <3

Posting for Claudette
Using the Leprecat shown in the Tiger! - Dusky Green proof Claudette has proven recessive to Tiger! - Turquoise, as proven previously the Leprecat hides Chimera - Washed Tortie, this baby shows Tiger! - Turquoise so must hide the Chimera - Washed Tortie.
