Cat Genetics for Writers & Artists part 2: Black, Chocolate, & Cinnamon [CC]

EDIT: A helpful commenter made efforts to correct me on why chocolate/cinnamon cats are brown, which is the shape of the eumelanin reflecting light differently, rather than the presence of pheomelanin!

Episode two!! And also probably the shortest, simplest one. Enjoy the simplicity while it lasts bc later loci can get pretty complicated!
