We Built A Cat.
Thank you to everyone who participated in this little game. The highest number of votes we got on a singular poll was over 1200 in the course of 24 hours!
Here are some facts about the cat we’ve built together.
We started off with a black cat. A good, classic color. This is a dominant gene represented as B, without knowing what (if anything) our cat carries we’ll just list it as B-.
Then we diluted our cat, since we started off with a black cat this means they’re now blue. This is a recessive trait represented by d, since our cat is dilute this means they have 2 copies of the gene giving us B- dd.
We decided our cat was longhair, which is another recessive trait represented by l. So we have ll B- dd.
Then we decided our cat was a tabby of the classic variety. Agouti, or tabby, is a dominant trait represented by A. Without knowing if our cat carries the recessive self we’ll leave it at A-.
The classic pattern is recessive, though, represented by mc. Given that our cat is classic, as opposed to mackerel, that leaves us with ll B- dd A- mcmc.
We then gave our cat some fashionable mittens, which is caused by one of the many KIT mutations responsible for white patterning. Since our cat is a moggy we’ll go with Ws, one copy of this gene will produce a low degree of white markings so now we’re at ll B- dd A- mcmc Wsw.
Then we restricted our cats color to mink, which is an intermediate between point (cs) and sepia (cb). Admittedly I’m surprised this one was so popular, although was a narrow margin that it won by! So our cat is ll B- dd A- mcmc cbcs Wsw.
We’re getting close to the end.
We decided our cat had the inhibitor gene, represented by I. Since they’re a tabby this means they’re silver, if they were solid they would have been smoke. Like our other dominant traits we don’t know if our cat carries a recessive trait so we’ll leave that second one blank and call it I- bringing us to ll B- dd A- mcmc I- cbcs Wsw.
Deciding to take a break from the fancier genetics we went back to basics by allowing our cat to have a normal coat type with normal ears and a full length tail but did bestow them with magnificent thumbs due to polydactyly (Pd-).
And for the icing on the cake I took the too 3 highest polling options from our bonus round, leaving us with a kinked tail and some visible scarring.
And so…
I present you with…

Hey, we're fundraising to help our friend replace the belongings she lost in an IDF strike on Gaza!
Tumblr media
You might have seen this post floating around about our friend Swin who went to volunteer as a medic in Gaza, and whos residence was bombed the night before she was able to escape through Rafah.
Well, she's home! And we're so grateful to have her back, but the explosion utterly destroyed a lot of her belongings, including her phone, and left her with some minor injuries that'll need some care.
We'd like to raise some money (around $2000) on her behalf to replace this stuff; it doesn't sit well with us at all that Swin should go through so much to help people and be left with nothing but a bill.
We'd really appreciate any help, whether it's through sharing this post or donating, and there's more info on the Gofundme page!
>>Here's the link to the Gofundme!<<
We'd also like to mention while we've done this with Swins consent, she's requested privacy while she recovers. If you've got any questions or concerns, please direct them our way! (my dms and asks are always open, and you can reach out to darling @classychassiss who's drawn our banner and helped me organise!)
