Hello, yes, Skylight and Whitestar are planning to have kits, and we are planning to have them while Frostclan is looking for a new territory. We are planning for no more than four in a litter, but if there is less, than so be it. If someone is totally looking for a kit, and there is already four kits, PM Lexie or Tiger. We can maybe squeeze you into the litter.
Please post names and ideas, no appilications here please. Tiger and I need to approve the name and coat and all that before you post an app!
Kits:
Specklekit-Tiger
Sleetkit?-Loaym
Oceankit-Star
Willowkit-Lexie

Specklekit (needs a warrior name): Black-and-white tuxedo she-cat with light gray eyes. The prefix Speckle- comes from the small amount of spotting (really a mixing between the colors) resulting from her markings. She is headstrong, domineering, and ambitious yet loyal to her clan. She can be very fussy about certain things and typically either behaves like a royal, pampered queen or an absolute tomboy. Specklekit wants to grow up to be a leader like her father and grandmother. How's that? :3 th01.deviantart.com/fs15/300W/f/2007/029/1/3/Isabelle_the_tuxedo_cat_by_Star_buck.jpgI'm just going to post her family to help you figure this out and so I don't have to worry about it when I go to make the app. Skylight - Mother, FrostClan Whitestar - Father, FrostClan (name) - (brother/sister), FrostClan Icestar - Grandmother, BeachClan Stormcloud - Grandfather, BeachClan Bluepool - Grandmother, FrostClan Icefoot - Grandfather, StarClan, NCC Morningstar - Great-grandmother, StarClan Crackedtooth - Great-grandfather, StarClan, NCC Blackleaf - Uncle, FrostClan Snowfur - Aunt, StarClan, NCC Silentstep - Great-aunt, BeachClan Rabbitkit - Cousin, FrostClan* Foxkit - Cousin, FrostClan* Lilykit - Cousin, FrostClan* (*With the exception of Skylight, the family is unaware that Blackleaf has kits.) |

I like it Tiger! I want one to go back to Beachclan to take enroll in Icestar pawsteps. I want her to be black and white with deep blue eyes like Bluepool. But without the black and white part xD I need a name though.

I'd really like to play another FrostClan cat. ^_^
Before I post anything, does anyone know if there's a chance the kit could inherit albinism from its father? It looks like both Siamese and Burmese coat patterns are caused by partial albinism; however, I'm wondering whether it's possible for the kit to be a complete albino.

I have no idea, maybe Tiger knows, since Whitestar is albino.
Any ideas for a name for my kits, I was thinking maybe patchkit but I can't think of a warrior name. Patchpelt is from the books so I would have no idea.

www.messybeast.com/whitecat.htmThis page is about white cats with albinism and ones with blue eyes. Basically, Whitestar's condition is recessive so unless Skylight was an albino there would be no albino kits. There's four types of Albinism; blue-eyed, pink-eyed, Siamese and Burmese. Because Skylight is a blue eyed black and white cat she possibly carries genetics to produce a blue-eyed albino. That's where you have a pure white cat with blue eyes that are caused by depigmentation. Siamese and Burmese albinos are just pure white. They don't have any shading. I may have this all wrong though. Skylight and Whitestar have to be the most awkward couple x'D

They have a huge family, they are mostly Beachclan and Frostclan cats. xD
Lets see:
Blackleaf
Rabbitkit
Icestar
Bluepool
Stormcloud
Whitestar
Skylight
Foxkit
Lilykit
Morningstar
That's all I can think of, I don't know if they are related to Flaxeyes but I think they are. Wow I just noticed that Blackleaf is almost relative to Burntstar. Wow I caught on slowly. D:

It all depends on whether Skylight has a recessive C gene. Her parents were both fully pigmented (meaning that they had either Cc or CC), with the latter being the most likely. However, it is possible for her to have recieved Cc genes. If that is the case, then there is a 50% chance of a cat being a cc: an albino. She also has two recessive white masking genes (ww) because she has pigmentation in her fur. Whitestar is Ww; so he has a 50% chance of having a white kitten. (edit: Whitestar is ww because the white masking gene is dominant; if he had it then he would not be albino but merely a white cat. Bluepool is and Snowfur was Ww; Icefoot was ww)
In a nutshell, it might be possible to have a pink-eyed kit. It's much more likely for him to have a white cat with blue eyes.
I might be wrong too. xD; I'm not a cat geneticist.

The depigmentation thing causes sensitivity to sunlight and possible vision problems, correct? Or is that just in pink-eyed albinos?
Gawsh, I did a presentation on albinism a few years ago - I should know more about this stuff. Dx

The skin and eyes of an albino cat are sensitive to light, although the condition doesn't cause vision problems as it does in people. FrostClan isn't a very sunny place to begin with, although the glare off the snow in the winter might be a bit irritating. An albino in BeachClan wouldn't be able to thrive as much as one in FrostClan. c:

Most cats with blue eyes and are white are deaf, as so I think, but I said most, Cloudtail is white with blue eyes, but from one of the series, I think Dappletail's last kit was deaf because of that, and was eaten by a hawk or falcon. O now I remember, it was the first series because Bluestar was still alive.

If the cat is an albino, they will probably have normal hearing.
15-40% of all white cats have one or two blue eyes. With two blue eyes, 60-80% are deaf; with one blue eye 30-40% are deaf. Cats who have one blue eye are typically deaf in the ear on the same side of the blue eye. It's very complicated, although Bluepool and her parents were all blue-eyed and had normal hearing.

If it's possible, I'd like to play a blue-eyed albino tom. =3 All I need now is a name... xD

Name prefixes are pretty much anything to do with winter weather. xD
Stuff like Sleet, Snow, Ice, Cloud.... You might be able to get away with Blizzard, but I'm not quite sure if it's too non-traditional. ^^;

Okay, if Skylight is heterozygous for albinism (Cc) there's a 50% chance of her producing a true albino kit. However, the more likely situation is that she's CC and all her kits will be carriers of albinism.
But I don't think (W) gene applies to either Whitestar or Skylight as they don't have white coats. Whitestar's coat is white due to an absence of colour. (W) is a gene that masks all other colours. Is that correct?
Skylight will have the gene (S) for white-spotting as she is black and white.

I never understood what blue-eye albinos were? Someone care to explain?

Like I'm thinking of a either a all black kit, no I have way too many black cats. Maybe a black and white cat, no that won't make a difference. Maybe a black and white kit with deep blue eyes. I just need a name.

Post by Tiger on Jan 18, 2009 20:46:03 GMT -5
Oh, right. ^^; Bluepool must have been Ww and Icefoot was ww. Whitestar recieved a ww, while his sister had Ww.
Skylight may be either homozygous or heterozygous for the spotting gene. Blackleaf is all black, so Icestar and Stormcloud have to be Ss. She might be SS or Ss; in the case of the former there's no possible way for them to have an albino kit, while in the latter she could still have a kit with ss genes.

That's okay; I quite like Sleet.
.[Sleetkit]--->[Sleetpaw]--->//[undecided].
.//appearance; A smallish albino tom with somewhat scruffy, medium-length fur and pink eyes.
.//personality; Though he tends to act in a cool, confident manner around other cats, he's a bit impulsive and lacks common sense. (This is what I'm working off of - obviously, I have a bit more to write.) xD
...Psst, advice on the text-decoration thing? xD

I like the text decoration. xD It takes a lot of practice, namely looking at other cool decorated text. imProPer capitalization and odd s p a c i n g of words helps to make it fancy. Also, using lots of x's and -'s helps.
I'm probably going to hold off on deciding a warrior name for Specklekit for a while. It's a hard name to pair a suffix with.

Maybe Sleetfur or Sleetfoot? I have no idea. I still need an idea for a warrior name for Patchkit. I was thinking also thinking of Lightkit? Maybe like Light-something. If it was Lightkit she would be like a runt.

Post by lord of all yellow mice on Jan 18, 2009 21:01:05 GMT -5
Ooh, I like both Sleetfur and Sleetfoot. =D I'll think about both of those.
Hm, Lightkit... Lightwing? I dunno. xD

Post by á£Îmaý---♫♥ on Jan 18, 2009 22:14:25 GMT -5
Lightkit wouldn't be a very good name because the mother is Skylight. I think I might create a kit, I'm not totally sure as yet.

Post by Lexie on Jan 18, 2009 22:19:05 GMT -5
Ali has a point, Skylight doesn't fit with Lightkit. Maybe Patchedkit or something, then Patchedpelt? I have no idea. Any ideas?

Post by Tiger on Jan 18, 2009 22:21:54 GMT -5
Patchpelt? Patchedtail? Patchfoot? c=
I think that we're only going to have four kits in the litter. That's what you said in the first post of this, right, Lexie?

Post by Lexie on Jan 18, 2009 22:29:42 GMT -5
Yes, only four kits, if someone really really wants a kit, we can squeeze another one in, I don't want too many kits, but the more kits, the more Skylight and Whitestar will go crazy ^^
Patchpelt is from the books, Patchfoot is nice? If anyone thinks of something else, post it here! Okay, Patchkit, black and white she-cat, small, maybe runt. Deep blue eyes like Bluepool.

Sure Star! Go ahead, if you read some post from above, then you can pick out what the kit can look like, from Tiger and Ali's gene skills. =]

Post by lord of all yellow mice on Jan 19, 2009 11:28:45 GMT -5
...Wait, I think I missed Ali's post at the bottom of page one. xD
If Skylight is heterozygous for albinism, would that mean that, if she were to give birth to an albino kit, it would have to be pink-eyed? I can change Sleetkit's description if that's the case. xD

Post by Tiger on Jan 19, 2009 11:35:18 GMT -5
Yes, it would. =3
None of their kits could be blue-eyed because they both have two recessive white masking genes...wait. Isn't there some depigmentation thing that can turn an albino cat's eyes blue? I got myself confused. ^-^
