New Kitten came home with me today.

So cool!!!!

Thats the video that flipped my wife on this breed. Se was convinced prior to seeing that video that the cat was just a wild beast

You'll never get an F1 seal lynx (snow) Savannah since seal lynx is recessive so needs to be carried by both parents.

 

[Ninja-n-Bear]

What about a seal lynx crossed with a white Serval? The resulting offspring would obviously still have spots, but what are the odds of also getting white coats?

I know, but I can still wish. What would happen if you had the Seal Lynx breed the F1? Then would it's offspring carry the recessive trait?

BTW Xander has started to get interested in the computer screen.

What about a seal lynx crossed with a white Serval?

There are only two 'white' servals currently known to be in existence, and they are both altered. Even if there were more, there is no indication that the white gene in these servals is the same as the seal lynx gene found in domestic cats (there are many different white genes found in domestic cats, each with their own unique expression).

Thank you for answering my silly question , I suspect I may have to follow Sean's example and try to digest a cat genetics book at some
point, all of my current knowledge on the subject pertains to plants - fascinating stuff in general.

Stop in at Costco and buy the BIG bottle of headache meds. It's been so long sense I learned what little I know of genetics
that my head want to to burst from the new info. Not quite as bad as reading the FAA rules but close.

I think and at this point I am guessing. If you had pair of cats that carried the trait and they went to a Serval. Then take there offspring
that test as positive for the trait you might see something at the F3 or F4 level. This all coming from the female side unless you got a
male that was fertile. And add to that a good roll of the dice and you might get the correct pair. I think you would be looking in the F4 level
or later. One outcome is you will have a lot of kittens that will need homes. That will need to also taken into account also.

 

[Ninja-n-Bear]

Lol! Not sure how much I'll be able to digest, but I am curious. No breeding ambitions beyond having a house-full of kittens at least once in my life - all of whom I'd want to keep!

Did you actually read the FAA rules? That's nuts, haha! And impressive. I assume it was much worse than stereo instructions.

 

[Sean]

Well I did not read them all just the parts I needed for school and then parts I need when I go back to work.
In a lot of cases way worse that stereo instructions. Lots of "If them see part xyz" But they don't always tell
you where to find XY and Z.

Xander is playing low back pillow today. Nothing like warm vibrating heat on the low back. And if the purring
slows down I just have to reach back and scratch a chin or tail.
