I saw on the cat genetics visual guide that you reblogged that it says Agouti Ticked cats are a/a instead of A/-. Which I didn't know before. I always thought Agouti Ticked cats were A/- and homozygous for Ticked. (or maybe the guide is just incorrect? Or maybe I just missed this bit of information)
Do you know the science behind that?
And does this apply to Abyssinians and Somalis as well? Or can they be either a/a or A/-. I've just always wondered what makes them so different from normal Ticked cats besides breeding. (I assumed homozygous for Ticked + breeding for those visual traits)
There's also the Singapura and I've seen Agouti Ticked Maine Coons.
I am obsessed with animal color genetics, (cats, dogs, rabbits, horses, foxes, crested geckos, etc) and I really like trying to figure out specifically what's going on in the background. So sorry for so many questions 😅. (I also adore your blog and the tournaments!)
No, the guide is wrong there then, ticked is definitely A/_. I didn't read it over this thoroughly, sorry.
I think you have the right idea about somalis and abyssinians, they are selected for certain polygenes that give them their characteristic warm coloration and fur texture.
Yes, ticked is present in many cat breeds, including those you listed, and several more. These black ticked tabby kittens are norwegian forest cats, for example:
Haintrollen cattery
Ticked is the most 'dominant' (or epistatic, to be precise) tabby pattern, all the others can only manifest if the cat is a recessive homozygote for the ticked gene. But ticked cats still carry all the other tabby genes too, just don't express it.
Don't worry about the questions, i'm always happy to answer them 😸 and i'm glad you like the blog!

So like, obviously Dream Ella as a line leaves much to be desired. But I was just looking at the Dream Ella Extra Iconic Minis, which I assume are meant to be counterparts/competitors for Barbie Extra Minis, and, just…
Barbie minis:
Dream Ella minis:
Dream Ellas are half an inch taller. Their proportions are better, their faces are better, their clothes are better. I was thinking about getting the white one to use as a body donor for my endless supply of damaged Dawn dolls, but she’s too pretty to decapitate.
