Some friends like to raise purebred cats and breed them, but know nothing about their genetic genes. Actually, the genetics of purebred cats are very fascinating. For example, the Manx cat (MANX) has recessive genes; which are completely different from the dominant genes of the Folded Ear cat. Let’s learn more below!

　　Scientists used statistical methods to calculate and found that when Manx cats mate with Manx cats, the rate of stillbirths is very high. If their genetic genes have problems, the offspring’s skeletons develop abnormally, and they may be born completely tailless.

　　The coat color of purebred cats also has dominant and recessive distinctions. The author has briefly listed some of these characteristics below for your reference.

　　1. When black is dominant—blue is recessive, and chocolate is also recessive.

　　2. When chocolate is dominant—lavender and cinnamon are recessive.

　　3. When red is dominant—cream is recessive.

　　4. When white is dominant—all other colors are recessive.

　　5. When tortoiseshell or "tortoiseshell and white" is dominant—beige blue or lighter color layers are recessive.

　　6. When white spots are dominant—solid colors of any shade are recessive.

　　7. When undercoat white is dominant—solid colors are recessive. The length and type of cat hair also have dominant and recessive differences.

　　8. Short hair is dominant, long hair is recessive, and hairless is also recessive.

　　9. When coarse hair is dominant, normal hair texture is recessive.

　　10. When normal hair texture is dominant, the hair of Rex cats is recessive, with very few exceptions.
