Cat Genetics for Writers & Artists part 6: Inhibitor & Widebanding [CC]

EDIT: read pinned comment for a correction re: non-agouti amber cats. It seems they do eventually turn “ginger,” it just takes longer & has the described “silver”-esque stage in the middle. The commenter DM’d me & provided this source: https://www.barnedroem.de/infos_amber_special/Amber_the%20show_E.pdf

Wanna know the genotype for a silver shaded cat or a golden chinchilla cat? Well this video won’t tell you! Everything is confusing! Hahaha!!
