Cat Genetic Database

I wanted to catalogue different cats and their genetics for art references and I figured others may want the same PLEASE TELL ME IF I GOT ANYTHING WRONG I BEG

🐾 INFO

This is meant to be a resource so I can easily search tags for specific traits found in cats to use as art and oc references

I am NOT an expert but I would like to be so absolutely correct me and give me tips, further reading, etc. I love cats.

I plan to make resource sheets to make it easier for others to learn as well and include visuals I believe resources I’ve used were lacking

I am updating this as I please so there is no schedule. I usually add pictures when I am looking for references I don’t already have
