Please credit the source if you reproduce the contents because as well as material from cat breed standards and genetics texts, the charts depict material from my own studies which are described (with photos) elsewhere on. The explanatory text and the charts are in the public domain for breeders and can be edited as required for your own breed. This page may load slowly due to the number of downloadable images. There are also charts of 2 sought-after patterns that haven't been confirmed in cats. In several cases, I've taken the liberty of coining terms for certain patterns for ease of describing something not formally described by a cat fancy standard (some of these terms have since been used by other people creating their own charts from my information). The eumelanin (black) series and the phaeomelanin (red) series are alongside for comparison. Below that are the two dilution modifiers. The charts are laid out in the normal 2-axis format seen in textbooks: the most dominant allele is at the left (black) and in descending order of dominance to the most recessive allele on the right (cinnamon). Any genetics contents is extremely simplified! Similar color charts have appeared in Wright & Walters (The Book of the Cat, 1980) and in Robinson's Genetics (1977 onwards) and I've updated those with recent developments and made them freely available. This page doesn't go into inheritance genetics in depth, but is intended to depict the range of colours and patterns.
