Hey I think you did this a few times so I just want to let you know I will be using sheeptail and loudnose as the example You mentioned sheeptail passing high white to fallowpelt this can not happen! High white means over 50% of the cat is white and there gene is S/S well loudnose didnt appear to have any white and u didnt mention him having white that makes him W/W you said Fallowpelt was high white aka S/S But! Sheeptail can only pass a S to fallowpelt and Loudnose a W this makes fallowpelt a S/W low white meaning under 50% of the cat is white
You forgot about genes that can be hiden in the parent's but can reappear further down the line in the offspring. This happens when the trate is non-dominate and is shut off within the cells of the parent. But if that offspring mate with another that also has that gene, it can reappear.
it's hard to get a definitive answer, but looking at the variety of cats deemed "lilac," they tend to just be a very light gray. it can look kind of brownish-gray to some people/depending on lighting, but it leans way heavier into gray, at least in my opinion
RU-vid keeps deleting this for some reason, but still apologies on the following info dump ^-^" Male Torties can have kits, it's just very rare for them to be fertile. Then there's the Somatic mutation, that can cause cats to have odd coat colors or fur type/length. Sometimes causing them to look like male torties. the mutation itself can't be inherited, but the non-mutated colors would still be heritable by offspring. _"A somatic mutation is one where tissue cells are affected by a mutation during embryo formation. It can be visible e.g. fur colour or may be hidden e.g. an internal organ. It is not inherited."_ _excerpt about it from the 'messybeast' website under coat colours_ A Germ Mutation is a type of Somatic Mutation, but specifically reproductive organs that are effected by mutated cells and results in only the offspring showing the mutation.
I don't think Hidden White spotting is even possible with No white spotting as 'WS' is dominant to 'nw', so that rule is just how the genetics work in a way lol Love Goldenflower and Lionheart's new design, they both could pass as Bramble's parents. No cat would have to know Bramble is Tigerstar's son, since he takes after his mom. Maybe cats would assume Lionheart is his father? forgot how long between Lionheart's death and Bramble's birth.
Its possible with white dominant cats, but ... those cats are fully white anyways LMAO also, I think goldenflower and lionheart are siblings, so ... hopefully wouldn't be assumed as bramble's parent HELP
@@shadowyct Dominant White is just Dominant, but thats really the only way to hide white spotting in the traditional way. You would never be able to tell a Dominant white from 100% White spotting unless you looked at their genetics. 100% White spotting is just hiding in plain sight. As for the rest... There's been so many retcons regarding families that if you ignored the retcons, the entirety of warriors is just inbreeding. Its simply a byproduct of multiple authors and given how often it happens, a sign they dont really communicate all that well about things. Which given Harper collins is the publisher of warrior cats and other Erin Hunter books, i can forgive the authors for the errors made.
I’m so happy to see you’re back; I first started watching when I was at the worst part of my life, and it helped me get through that so thank you for 1 starting this series and 2 continuing it. (I’ve left the bad part and now I’m just happy to see this continue)
I'm not sure I really agree with doing it this way. To me, I think design hierarchy should go to the cats who have existed the longest in the real world- IE; we knew Scourge long before we knew his mother, so his mother's design is the one that should be sacrificed to make his work, not the other way around. Quince is an unimportant character in comparison to him. Same would go for characters like Firestar, Tigerstar, etc. It would still lead to characters like squirrel being messed up, but they are the proper second gen that something like this thought experiment should apply to.
