Neon-Cat Sabrina – pregnant and resting in the morning sun; 12-16-18

Neon-Cat Sabrina – night moves. Sabrina is a black & white girl. Her genotype is aaBbD_CcsSsTM_XX (we use blank spaces “_” when the complete genotype has not yet become apparent). The use of cs shows that Sabrina carries a copy of the recessive gene for points. With just one copy of the pointed gene, she cannot express the pointed pattern. If a kitten receives a gene for points from both its mother and father (cscs) he or she will express the pointed pattern, like Flash, Flanagan, and Sawyer; 3-19-17

Alexei

Alexei – natural mink smoke. As a smoke (aaI-), Alexei has a silvery-white undercoat; her individual coat hairs are half mink color at the tips, and half silvery white at the roots.

Neon-Cat Sadie – red mackerel tabby & white queen; notice the classic “M” outlined in red above her eyes – this is characteristic of tabby cats but does not always show if the “and white” color obsures the pattern; tabbies will also have what we call white “eye-liner” around their eyes and sometimes a darker rim above their pink noses; Sadie’s genotyoe is AaBbDdCc^sSsT^st^bXOXO. Sadie carries the c^s gene for point color. Photo from 1-27-1.

Neon-Cat Sadie and her litter born 3-29-16. The kittens are 17 days old in this photo. Mothers typically lose coat around their flanks as the kittens nurse – there are 5 sharp baby claws per front paw. That makes 40 baby claws at work here as the kittens knead the mom’s tummy as they nurse. Photo from 4-15-16.
