![]() That means, if the gene locus has one D allele (dominant allele) and one d allele (recessive allele), the cat will most likely be a regular calico cat, since the D allele masks the effect of the d allele.Īs calico cats also have white fur, there must be a gene that causes white patches of fur and it’s called the white spotting gene. There is one more genetic ingredient when it comes to the color of the coat – the gene locus has to contain two d (recessive) alleles in order to create the muted colors. Then, these two basic colors (black and orange) are muted by the dilute gene, which creates gray and cream colored coats. The mosaic gene means the cat’s coat will contain both black and orange colors.
