Well i personally don't need to know-my oh has that side of things pretty much coveredBut there are a lot of newbie breeders and the like who would be glad of any info on this side of things-coz if they don't know the basic colors/genes etc and how you get what with what-how is anyone supposed to understand what your posting in the first place-which you can see is apparent(not everyone) so if you started with the basics ie-dominant colors-what they are,dilute colors etc then other people could learn stuff and be better equipped-but thanks Liz-if i do-i will-coz you seem to know your stuff or your great at copying and pastingLol-but i think you'd be ideal for educating any of us who don't have smartasspartners like your goodself or my oh and it's a matter you clearly like to share with others,if they get the basics,they will be able to ask and understand relevant questions and answers Hope you do-would be a great topic and think we'd all gain

Kelly, my post was meant to have a when it talked about making it basic enough for you, I put the in the wrong place so sorry if it looked rude, it wasn't intended to!

Thing is, I can't work out how to do punnet squares on here, it would have to be done as a graphic and added as an image.

Liz

Liz-it's fine,knew what you mean't and knew you weren't being rudeBut thanks for taking the time to tell me anywaysBut still think you'd be great for teaching us this stuff-as me personally have managed to grasp a little about it(only coz i do have clever oh and a great book-Genetics for Cat Breeders & Veterinarians-fourth edition by Robinson's.I read and re-read and re-read and some of it i think i understand and some of it i go back and refer to,then i put the book away for a long time coz i get too frustrated If you don't have this already-get it-think you'd really enjoy it and you could get your teeth into itHowever i also know that unless someone has a little knowledge-it's difficult explaining everything else-so wouldn't blame you,my oh just gives me a "look" like-omg-which sentence did i lose you onI do find it as you do-fascinating,just very complex and my brain gets overwhelmed with too much complexityThen again-for me-it really doesn't take a lot:

I had that book once (got ruined along with many others when I lived in a house with extreme damp problems). It's very very good.

Liz

Hi Liz, just to answer your question. My moggy had 4 kittens a few weeks ago and one of them has turned out silver like the whiskas cat.

Your thesis sounds very interesting, I'll have to re-read it when I've got my concentration cap on

is this any help?

PawPeds

It's just different theory's and take on things really
