Cat Genetics for Writers & Artists part 8: Bicolors & Dominant White [CC]

Love me some piebald, which I forgot to mention in the video is the non-cat-specific term for bicolor lol. Also, much like “niche,” very single professor I had in college pronounced “leucism” & “leucistic” differently, and I’m already bad at pronouncing things, so go easy on me.

Terminology Google doc mentioned in the video: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MnJ5qDvdoS2eDBBC3g-6MROOJVGWqfKVaEjBYyJMoMk/edit?usp=sharing
