Here's my sweet kitty, Zoe. From 7 weeks to now (5 months).
Close up of her face, with her little "beauty spot"
When I first got her, she was so teeny. Ps, waiting till she stops growing before she gets her adult collar. She outgrew her kitten one. It's a keepsake now.
Super purry kitty, who loves petting, forehead kisses, and snuggling on my lap. Love her with all my heart.
Now you can experience her too :3
thsnk you so muc h....... i will treasure this,, ,,,

Ancient Nosferatu professional "warrener", travels around setting up safe warrens for Nosferatu, sometimes by manipulating kine to delve into the earth on false pretexts then modifying their efforts.

do u think the baby is going to grow out of looking so exhausted and decrepit, in a way not unlike Yoda from Star Wars, or is that just what devon rexes look like sometimes? (written with extreme affectionate towards this new little beast)
well to answer that, let's look at his mother
and his father - who I owe an apology to! this is a complete tangent, but I thought the other stud at the cattery had cucked him, because Belphegor has white spotting but neither of his parents do. which is genetically impossible (it's a co-dominant, not a recessive, meaning it would always be visible)
but those bat ears of his father, with their notched flanges, are so weird and distinctive! you can see that Belphegor has them, and nearly all of his littermates do too
SO NOW I'm thinking, the father has to have some white spotting that just isn't visible in his photo! right? like a white tail-tip, or a single white toe on his back foot, or maybe a locket on his chest? I've become an ear truther
but what was the original ask, I got completely distracted by the cuckoldry speculation. oh yeah, aging, yeah I think Belphegor will grow up to look noble and beautiful like his mother and his (maybe) father

girl typing a very specific question into google search bar, scrunching her face as she takes time to make sure she hasn't made any spelling errors, hitting enter, shaking her head as google only presents her with unhelpful websites that don't answer her query at all, moving her cursor back to the search bar and clicking on it so she can carefully write 'reddit' at the end, hitting enter again, sighing with relief as she finds a link to a reddit post asking the exact question she needed answered posted in a subreddit for a very niche topic, finally moving her cursor to click on the link, wondering why she didn't go straight to the subreddit earlier, only to be met with a deleted comment with a reply from the OP stating 'that was very helpful, thanks', sighing with frustration as she moves her cursor back to the search bar so she can copy the link and paste it into the wayback machine,

Learning new cat colour genetics. Mocha, Amber, Copper, and Russet.
Basically, I learnt most of the genetics of cats and some rodents from a book called the Colour Inheritance in Small Livestock by Roy Robinson. Printed 2013.
But new genes have since been discovered. This us part 2
Mocha- Bangkok cats
What is it- more pink than mocha. A brown colour
Genetics- new c gene, (cm), recessive/codominant with other sepia
Notes- codominant with burmese and Siamese Bur-mocha is cbcm, Sia-mocha is cscm
Amber- Norwegian forest cats
What is it- normal cats matures into orange like cat if agouti. Non agouti is silver tabby looking but has black nose and paw pads instead of pink/red nose
Genetics- extension gene (e), recessive
Notes-
first time e gene in cats
Only effects black and blue based cats and their patterns. They are genetically this.
Effects fur only and not skin.
Copper/flaxen/akita- British shorthairs
What is it- chinchilla (ticked) or shell (shaded) colour pushed so far on hair looks gold and white. Has black paw pads and tail tip.
Genetics- dominant Inhibitor gene (silver) + Wide Band + Ticked Tabby (on self makes shaded) and recessive copper gene (cop).
Notes-
British wide band gene,
corin based
New golden gene
Males can become temporarily silver while breeding stud.
Russet- burmese
What is it- starts off tabby and turns to red with little dark. Born with pink paws and pale tail tip unlike real tabby.
Genetics- extension gene (er), recessive
Facts-
Similar to Amber gene
Kittens are larger than normal
Bonus of dominance of hair, ear, tail, limb and eye types.
Hair-
Cat longhair (l) gene recessive
Sphynx gene (hr) recessive
Donskoy (Hrbd) dominant
Lykoi is recessive
Devon rex (re) is recessive
Cornish rex (r) is recessive
Selkirk rex (Se) is dominant
Laperm (Lp) is dominant
Wirehaired (Wh) is dominant
Ears-
Fold ear (Fd) is dominant. usually single.double gene is more severe pain.
Curled ear (Cu) is dominant.
Tail-
Manx is dominant. (All are Mm). As MM is fatal. Lethal gene.
Bobtail (japanese) (jb) Is recessive.
Curled tail- two genes in one. Over Back gene is co-dominant. Curl is recessive.
Limbs-
Munchkin (Mk) is dominant
Polydactyl (Pd) is dominant
Eyes-
Ojos azules (Oj) is dominant.

we still get immediately shoved out of our immersion in tv shows or films when The Girl find a dead body and immediately shrieks - we just don’t find it realistic because we’re pretty confident most people would gasp rather than shriek (i.e. sharp inhale rather than sharp exhale) and it also feels unnecessarily (and predictably) misogynistic too, as men encountering corpses almost never do the same on screen
also of course please do tell us if you’ve actually encountered a corpse unexpectedly, because tumblr is absolutely a place where some people have done this thing and we love a good anecdote
suddenly imagining “burst into song” as a potential response
#nothing#seen two corpses and said nothing#accidently saw my grandads wake#saw a jumper covered up#mostly morbid curiosity and shock

i was researching cat eye colors and was jumpscared by pangur like what is the tumblr creature doing outside of tumblr
on messybeast?
Pangur's eyes are actually pretty neat, because she comes from a line of white and pointed cats that have been selectively bred to have the bluest possible eyes!
blue in eyes is caused by structural colouration, rather than pigment (aka the physical structure of the iris reflects blue)
the intensity of colour varies quite a lot. on one end of the spectrum, there are icy eyes that appear almost white
and on the other end, there are cats like Pangur's mother, Lily. her blue was so intense that it looked unreal, even in person.
with albinism, you have an inability to produce pigment, but the structural colour remains.
in cats with weak structural colour, this results in pale pinkish eyes, like those of Stoli here
and in cats like Pangur, who have been selectively bred for the bluest blue? you get violet

How wary are you of pet store rabbits?
Extremely.
1. Pet stores generally cater to the audience of people who don't actually do much research on the pet they want to buy in the first place, and considering how difficult it is to find genuinely good care advice for rabbits, that means it's even more likely that those rabbits will end up in the wrong hands.
2. Generally, a breeder that really cares where/who their rabbits are going to won't sell to pet stores because they know the people who are buying rabbits from there are likely people who won't properly care for those rabbits.
3. Because most reputable/responsible breeders won't sell to pet stores, the rabbits you buy at pet stores tend to be from irresponsible breeders. These may be people who otherwise breed for good reasons just genuinely don't care what happens to their culls (this is somewhat rare, but it does happen), or they may be people just throwing together whatever random adorable bunnies they come across together in order to pump out even more adorable babies to sell to pet stores or to literally anyone who wants a pet rabbit. Either way, by purchasing rabbits from pet stores, you're telling those pet stores that there is a demand for rabbits to be bought from them, which means they're going to continue to give those irresponsible breeders more business and encourage/fund them to keep going.
4. You have no idea what you're getting when you buy a pet store rabbit. You don't know what medical conditions might run in its lines that it may either express or carry, you don't know what the temperament of the rabbit might turn out to be. Chances are, a rabbit bought at a pet store will have something wrong with it, and you as the pet owner have to decide whether you're willing to/have the financial ability to potentially go through all of the vet bills or if, should any issues arise, you are willing/able to euthanize that rabbit.
5. Just as a general rule, I would say the vast majority of rabbits found in shelters or found released/feral either come directly from irresponsible/non-reputable breeders or from pet stores. By buying from a pet store, you may either directly or indirectly be contributing to the amount of rabbits in shelters and/or found released/feral, and therefore giving rabbits rights groups such as House Rabbit Society more fuel to push their agendas by proving their point that 'there are too many rabbits in shelters/too many rabbits released, and that means all rabbit breeding needs to be stopped' - which then affects all breeders and all rabbits of all kinds.
Basically... Pet store rabbits are generally a huge no from me. They're irresponsibly bred and irresponsibly sold, and really probably shouldn't be a thing (at the very least not until more work has been done to make accurate rabbit care guidelines and facts about what it's like to have rabbits as pets way more accessible).
It gets a little complicated because yes, there is still a market for pet rabbits, and if reputable breeders generally don't sell any pet rabbits then where is anyone supposed to get one? I think the answer to that is... If you already prove yourself to be somebody who is open to listening and learning from folks who have been raising rabbits for years (or who have been taught by folks who have been raising rabbits for years/generations), then folks might be more willing to sell a rabbit that could be suitable as a pet to you. Idk how other breeders feel about this, but personally I think it would be cool if somebody really interested in a well bred pet rabbit came to a rabbit show and talked to some breeders that work with the breeds they're interested in. If somebody came up to me and said they were looking to get a pet rabbit and wanted to learn more about my breed and the general care of rabbits, I might be willing to take their contact information so I can let them know if/when I have something available for them if they're still interested. Again, that's just me personally, and idk how other breeders would feel about this, so I wouldn't say that's the be-all-end-all for how to go about buying a pet rabbit from a reputable breeder.
